Is it possible to produce high-quality lithium sustainably?

As concern grows about the sustainability of conventional lithium extraction, new technologies are needed. These emerging options are poised to not only accelerate and maximize lithium recovery, but also do so in a way that is less detrimental to natural and societal environments. Direct lithium extraction—with its ability to recover a large majority of the lithium available and reinject about 90% of spent brine back into the reservoir—is one such innovative method.
