Story summary
  • General Motors and Cirba Solutions completed a closed-loop EV battery recycling pilot.
  • The pilot processed end-of-life GM EV packs in Ohio, producing black mass with nickel, cobalt, manganese.
  • Recovered minerals were refined into 100% recycled cathode active material, which Ultium Cells used to make new EV battery cells.
  • GM assembled those cells at Factory ZERO and Spring Hill and shipped the first EVs to consumers.
