Google translate is needed because the English-language stories are missing some details. A fire at a battery plant in Azuqueca de Henares has led to the lockdown of several towns.
I looked at several English-language sources, but none of them mentioned the fact that Envirobat Spain deals with recycling of lithium-ion batteries.
A fire broke out this Friday at a lithium battery recycling plant located in the El Ródano industrial park in Azuqueca de Henares (Guadalajara), causing a thick column of smoke visible for tens of kilometers. The release of toxic gases has forced the activation of regional emergency plans in both Castilla-La Mancha and the Community of Madrid.
Because when lithium-ion batteries catch fire, which they do quite a lot, they become toxic hazards, both in terms of the gasses they emit, and residue they leave behind. So no, they are NOT environmentally friendly.
The fire broke out in the early afternoon [July 4th] and quickly mobilized emergency services . At 8:15 p.m., the Government of Castilla-La Mancha activated the Territorial Plan of Castilla-La Mancha in alert phase for the entire province of Guadalajara, due to the severity of the fire and the possibility of smoke affecting the nearby population.
Azuqueca de Henares is about 20 miles northeast of downtown Madrid.
