What backs it

R3 Lithium has emerged from stealth mode to open a battery recycling facility in Georgia in a location formerly occupied by Ascend Elements, helping to address domestic lithium supply concerns and reduce US reliance on overseas supply chains as EV batteries reach end-of-life at scale.

Worth noting

The facility is newly operational; its impact on the broader supply chain will emerge as recycling volumes scale and spent EV batteries become available in larger quantities.
