President & CEO Steve Cotton to present on circular battery supply chains as the Company advances commercialization of its next-generation battery recycling technology RENO, Nev., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS), a pioneer in sustainable critical minerals recovery and battery recycling, today announced that members of its executive leadership team will participate in the NAATBatt International 2026 Recycling & Lifecycle Management Workshop, taking place July 7-9 at Michigan State University. President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Cotton will deliver a featured presentation on July 7 titled "Innovative Approaches to Recycling LFP: Building Circular Supply Chains for the Full Battery Lifecycle," followed by participation in an executive panel discussing the future of lithium battery recycling and lifecycle management. As lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries become the fastest-growing chemistry across electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems, the industry is increasingly focused on developing scalable domestic solutions for manufacturing scrap, warranty returns, repowering projects, and end-of-life battery management. "The battery industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation in which recycling is increasingly treated as an integral part of supply chain strategy rather than simply an end-of-life consideration," said Steve Cotton, President and CEO of Aqua Metals. "Collaboration by industry leaders is a necessity for battery recycling to continue scaling, and we appreciate the opportunity to join industry leaders from across the battery value chain to discuss how North America can build resilient, circular supply chains capable of supporting the rapid growth of battery manufacturing and energy storage." Participation in the NAATBatt workshop reflects Aqua Metals' continued engagement with battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, energy storage developers, recyclers, research institutions, and policymakers as the Company advances its commercialization strategy. These discussions help inform Aqua's technology development and strategic planning while strengthening relationships across North America's rapidly expanding battery ecosystem. This year's workshop follows Aqua Metals' significant participation in the 2025 NAATBatt Recycling & Lifecycle Management Workshop held in Reno, Nevad...
