CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Battery recycling and critical mineral recovery play an essential role in strengthening domestic battery supply chains. As North America’s most experienced battery recycling company, Cirba Solutions is advancing the recovery of critical minerals from end-of-life batteries and will contribute to key industry discussions at The Battery Show North America, taking place Oct. 12 – 15 in Detroit. 

“The battery industry continues to evolve rapidly, both domestically and globally, and battery recycling plays a vital role in strengthening the value chain by increasing the supply of recovered critical minerals and creating new opportunities to meet growing demand for these essential materials,” said Kody Krady, Director of Cirba Solutions’ Battery Material Sales and Business. “Events like The Battery Show are essential to bringing together industry leaders, exchanging insights on emerging technologies and market trends and identifying opportunities for collaboration. These conversations help turn challenges into actionable solutions, strengthen partnerships and advance a more resilient battery supply chain and circular economy.”

Closed-Loop Approach
Cirba Solutions is actively working to establish closed-loop supply chains, demonstrated through its recent partnership with General Motors (GM). The two companies, alongside partners, successfully completed a closed-loop EV battery recycling pilot. Using materials recovered from end-of-life GM EV battery packs to produce new battery cells, these are the first GM EV batteries made with cathode active material (CAM) containing 100 percent recycled nickel, cobalt and manganese. Last month, the first GM EVs, powered by battery cells containing CAM made with these recycled critical minerals, rolled off the assembly line.

Representatives from Cirba Solutions will be on-site, meeting with partners and industry leaders, and are open to connect with show attendees working towards building a more resilient circular economy.
