Technology

Recover. Reuse. Repeat.

RecycLiCo’s processes efficiently recover battery-ready lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from end-of-life batteries and manufacturing scrap, supporting energy storage as well as broader industrial applications.

The RecycLiCo™ process

The Missing Link in a Green, Efficient Battery Supply Chain

Why ship your valuable battery waste outside your facility to a third-party recycler, only to buy back those recycled battery materials at multiples of its initial value?

Integrate a bespoke RecycLiCo Clean Spot™ plant and its closed loop, multi-tonne per day, lithium-ion battery recycling and upcycling process — on-site — within your battery factory or recycling operation.

99%
of cathode materials recovered and upcycled into higher-value, battery-ready materials.
Making battery waste battery-ready

Two Stages, One Closed Loop — vs. Multi-Step Competing Processes

Third-party recyclers typically ship intermediate commodities offsite for further, energy-intensive processing. RecycLiCo’s on-site Clean Spot™ process skips those extra steps entirely.

Battery in a building

Supports Stricter Regulations

Regulations requiring higher recycling efficiencies and recycled content continue to expand globally.

* In accordance with ISO-14040:2006 and ISO-14044:2006 standards.

The RecycLiCo™ process

Highly Adaptable, Modular & Energy Efficient

Beyond the clear benefits of integrating a modular, bespoke RecycLiCo Clean Spot™ plant, the core advantage is its high adaptability in the production of lithium and specifically engineered cathode precursor.

This also eliminates multiple, energy-intensive steps found in traditional lithium-ion battery recycling processes — contributing to a much more efficient and sustainable circular economy.

62%
less CO2 than other hydrometallurgical battery recycling processes, per independent Minviro LCA.
