Electro-Recycling for a Low-Carbon, Sustainable Battery Supply Chain.

A modular electro-recycling process that converts end-of-life batteries into battery-grade lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, enabling selective, low-carbon and scalable recovery of critical materials for a circular battery supply chain.

Our long-term vision is to scale the electro-recycling process into a platform technology for sustainable resource extraction and recovery across multiple sectors.

The inherently low-energy, low-carbon system can be further integrated with renewable electricity to enhance long-term sustainability. Its flexibility enables expansion beyond lithium-ion batteries to sodium-ion and solid-state systems, as well as low-grade ores, industrial streams, e-waste and wastewater, reducing reliance on primary mining and supporting secure domestic supply of critical minerals.
