Can EV Batteries, Solar Batteries, and Industrial Lithium Batteries Be Recycled in the Same Way?
March 12, 2025
LFP batteries are widely used across industries, but not every battery used is LFP. The good news? LFP batteries are recyclable if they go through the right process! At NEU Battery Materials, we specialize in LFP batteries recycling. We not only take batteries from EVs to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and beyond, but we also create value for those looking for a cost-effective battery disposal solution.

February 27, 2025
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and lithium-ion battery manufacturing is reshaping the economic landscape of the U.S. South. Attracting a majority of investments are the states of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Between 2018 and 2024 alone, the South attracted $428 billion in clean energy investments.โ With billions in investments flowing into the region, the South is rapidly transforming into a powerhouse for advanced battery production, electric vehicle assembly, and the broader e-mobility supply chain. The reasons for this weโll elaborate below.
