Renewable Metals close $8m Seed round to scale groundbreaking battery recycling tech

Australian battery recycling startup Renewable Metals has closed an $8 million investment round to scale and commercialise its groundbreaking lithium-ion battery recycling technology, backed by Virescent Ventures and leading Asia Pacific and US-based investors.
