Li-Cycle: Ajay Creates a Second Life for Batteries

<p>Do you have a drawer or box filled with old laptops and smartphones? Or &nbsp;perhaps your electric vehicle is reaching the end of its life and you're &nbsp;shopping for a new one? What happens to the lithium batteries powering &nbsp;each of these machines? Ajay Kochhar has an answer. He and fellow &nbsp;battery expert Tim Johnston launched Li-Cyle — a startup devoted to &nbsp;recover critical materials from lithium-ion batteries and reintroducing &nbsp;them back into the supply chain. That way, they're not just sitting &nbsp;around in landfills — or worse — seeping materials into the earth. Also, &nbsp;they're reducing the need for mining, which takes a devastating toll on &nbsp;human lives. Tune in to learn how University of Toronto alum Ajay &nbsp;wields his clean tech company to not only solve the global battery &nbsp;problem, but recycle those important battery ingredients back to the &nbsp;manufacturers that need them.
