The M&E Dispatch - 012

Hello Everyone,

For those of you who’ve watched Arrested Development the Recovery industry can seem at times like the Banana Stand. No one really knows how it works, but there’s always money in the Banana Stand, the same can be said for recovery. Now, I’m not saying that no one really knows how it works, there are loads of very smart people who understand precisely how it works, rather the average investor has no idea other than governments and companies around the world are investing heavily in development.

Lithium isn’t the easiest to extract, nor to recycle and recover, but it might be the easiest to invest in regardless of which side of the lifecycle table you want to sit at.
