Aqua Metals Advocates for Circular Battery Economy at APEC Multistakeholder Forum
16 Novembro 2023 - 10:00AM
Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS) (“Aqua Metals” or the “Company”),
a pioneer in sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling, 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.
The APEC Multistakeholder Forum (AMF) was
organized by the Commonwealth Club World Affairs with the support
of the US Department of State and the APEC Secretariat. In opening
the AMF event, Ambassador Matt Murray, United States’ Senior
Official for APEC, shared the following perspective: “Although the
impact of climate change affects everyone, it does not affect all
communities equally. Some in the APEC region—often those who have
not historically had opportunities to participate in making
decisions to address the climate crisis—experience greater
suffering.”
During the forum, Mr. 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.”
“The environmental and community impacts of
sourcing critical minerals for the clean energy economy are well
documented. By pioneering advancements in sustainable recycling
technology, we are enabling the circular battery economy and
decarbonizing large portions of the clean energy supply chain,
setting a new paradigm for the industry—one that minimizes the
environmental impacts of critical minerals and offers equitable
economic opportunities to host communities. These principles of a
circular economy are essential to achieving our most ambitious
goals to combat climate change and provide a blueprint for an
inclusive energy transition that respects both the planet and its
people.”
Aqua Metals' presence at the APEC summit is a
testament to its leadership in addressing the pressing global
challenge of climate change through sustainable solutions for the
critical minerals that will power an electrified future. The
Company’s contribution to the panel discussion underscored the
importance of inclusivity in the transition to cleaner energy
sources, emphasizing that the benefits of such transitions should
not be at the cost of marginalized communities.
The forum's focus on green jobs and meaningful
work aligned closely with Aqua Metals' mission to create safe,
sustainable, and desirable jobs in the recycling sector. With its
innovative approach to battery recycling, Aqua Metals is making a
significant impact on local communities while contributing to the
global shift towards net-zero carbon economies.
