Singapore researchers use lemon, orange, and pineapple peels to recycle old batteries and recover metals for new lithium-ion batteries

Singaporean researchers are using fruit peels to recycle lithium-ion batteries. Waste from oranges, lemons, and pineapples helps dissolve battery material and recover metals. This pilot plant processes shredded batteries, recovering valuable components for new battery production. The innovative method combines food waste and spent batteries, moving laboratory work towards commercial use. This approach aims to tackle battery waste and food waste together effectively.
