WMG Talks: Saving Batteries, Saving the Future

Description

There are now batteries everywhere – in everyone’s pocket, home, car and remote control – but what happens when they go flat? We can’t keep putting the dead batteries in a drawer and forgetting about them forever.
Puja shares her experience on the Graduate Trainee Engineering programme and how her research is looking into the afterlife of batteries – can they be recycled? Can we recover the valuable materials that make batteries? She touches on how technology should be designed with recycling and end-of-life built in as part of the process – the idea of a circular economy - and shares some knowledge on how WMG is hoping to give dead batteries a future.
