Aqua Metals advocates for circular battery economy

Aqua Metals presented its case that building a truly circular supply chain for critical minerals requires building an economy centered around sustainability at this year’s Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, APEC, Multistakeholder Forum. The Company’s Chief Business Officer, Dave McMurtry, joined a panel discussion at the gathering of global leaders from various governments, civil society organizations, Indigenous Peoples, youth, workforce, and women’s groups that convened as part of the APEC summit in San Francisco to foster collaboration and dialogue throughout the Pacific region. During the forum, McMurtry shared the following remarks as part of a panel discussion: “The global push to electrify everything and transform our economy with abundant renewable energy is reliant on creating a sustainable and circular supply chain for the critical minerals and resources that underpin these clean technologies. We must understand that sustainability extends beyond only emissions reduction. We see the path to a decarbonized future that equitably distributes both its challenges and its rewards.”
