Sustainable Use of Materials
The electrification of the global economy – moving from fossil fuels to batteries – presents unique environmental challenges. Batteries require critical materials – scarce metals often mined in remote and dangerous regions of the world.
The environmental challenge is to optimize the use of battery material through reuse, repurposing and recycling. Bluewater’s commitment to this “circular economy” means that the company is dedicated to managing batteries in the most sustainable way possible, finding secondary and even tertiary use of battery material that conserves the need for mining virgin material. Bluewater’s commitment to sustainability is at the forefront of it's mission.
