A few take outs from the article and the opportunity for EGR with nobody at present globally able to economically recycle the black mass and EGR having patented its process. link below:

"Umicore’s facility in Hoboken, Belgium, is a plant with the largest recycling capacity of approximately 7,000 tons of batteries per year, which is around 250 million cellphone batteries or 35,000 EV batteries (source: Umicore 2018)."
"Other materials, such as iron, graphite and phosphor, are not recycled"
So even Umicore which has the largest recycling capacity does not recycle Graphite. This forgotten part of the battery recycling chain is wide open for EGR to step in and fill the void globally.
I do agree that EGR should market itself as the only graphite recycling solution in all future communications as it is an important distinction to all other global battery recyclers. EGR has in reality zero competition for graphite recycling.
