Recycling all solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and anode recovery

A method for recycling All solid state batteries (ASSBs), the method comprising:

• receiving a recycling stream of ASSBs comprising an electrolyte comingled with at least one charge material;
• introducing a passivating substance for neutralizing an undesired reaction or discharge of the charge materials from the batteries defining the recycling stream;
• agitating the batteries in the recycling stream in the presence of the passivating substance for liberating the charge materials and electrolyte stored therein, further comprising prior to agitating, puncturing the ASSBs and injecting the passivating substance;
• and
• recovering the charge material and the electrolyte from the agitated batteries, and wherein the passivating substance combines with the agitated batteries for generating a beneficial product thereby recycling ASSBs.
