Original video published in Business Insider
An electric-car battery can weigh thousands of pounds. As more electric cars hit the road, the race is on to find a sustainable way to deal with these batteries once they die.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this video incorrectly stated that lithium and cobalt cost more than gold. Also, at 3:11, this video incorrectly identifies Tim Johnston as the CEO & Cofounder of Li-Cycle. He is the company’s Executive Chairman & Cofounder. We apologize for the errors.
