From EV's to stationary storage, batteries are a well recognised part of todays energy system and a significant part of our carbon free future. However, today only 2-5% of lithium ion batteries actually being recycled and the balance typically end up in landfill. What solutions are available to ensure our race to zero carbon doesnt result in excessive waste? 

In S1 Ep6 of the Watt Pod we speak to Dominic Spooner, Founder & CEO of Vaulta. Vaulta has developed a lighter, reusable battery case that promotes recycling of battery packs by allowing single batteries to be replaced rather than discarding the whole pack. We discuss how design has led the rethinking of the battery casing, what applications they are focused on (more than you can imagine) and a bit about who Vaulta are partnering with.
