How are batteries used in Costa Rica?
“The batteries that arrive from Asia, Europe or the United States to Costa Rica are used here, end their useful life, are recycled, the materials are recovered and sent, for example, to Europe for the production of new batteries in a circular economy logic,” said Kruse.
Can a battery be used for urban mining in Costa Rica?
Daniel Rivas, technical manager in charge of batteries at Fortech, said that they are looking to “recover the materials to be able to carry out urban mining” and not have to “go to a mine to do more damage to the environment”. Mining is prohibited by law in Costa Rica.
Is mining illegal in Costa Rica?
Mining is prohibited by law in Costa Rica. This Fortech plant “makes Costa Rica a pioneer in Latin America in the valorization of used lithium batteries,” notes the German Development Cooperation Agency GIZ. The University of Aachen in Germany estimates that by the amount of discarded batteries will exceed the recycling capacity in Europe.
