Battery recycling is still the Wild West.
Not in a romantic way.
In a nobody has settled on a process yet way.
There is no single accepted route from a used pack to recovered material.
Shredding or dry shredding.
What counts as good black mass.
Where the value actually sits.
All of it is still being argued out, company by company.
And here is what makes that hard.
Every company works on one piece of the chain.
But every choice they make lands on somebody else.
How you shred decides what the separation step can recover.
How a pack is designed decides how long dismantling takes.
The decision is local. The consequence is not.
So my idea was always the same.
Bring it all together and look at it together.
Who is doing what, and why.
What the different processes actually are.
And how each choice moves downstream.
That's why I built Electrification Academy.
Not to make you better at your one step.
To show you how the whole battery ecosystem fits together.
If that's the view you've been missing, the link to join is in the comments.
