Would You Trust Bacteria With Your Batteries?

Imagine using ancient bacteria to recycle your old electric vehicle batteries—sounds like science fiction, right? A UK startup is using biomining, a process where microorganisms extract valuable metals, to recover lithium from dead batteries. This could slash costs, reduce e-waste, and make electric vehicles even greener. But can these microscopic recyclers really outperform traditional methods? Would you trust your gadgets’ future to bacteria that predate humanity? Let’s debate: Is this the breakthrough we need, or just a risky experiment? #BatteryRecycling #Biomining #CleanTech #Tech
