Technology Layers

Current, development and future.

Our long-term objective is not simply to recycle batteries. It is to build a closed-loop critical-material platform capable of converting battery waste into materials that can return to battery manufacturing.

Current

Battery Recycling & Black Mass

Lithium-ion battery recycling operations and chemistry-specific Black Mass production.
Development

Critical Mineral Recovery

Hydrometallurgical recovery of lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese from Black Mass.
Future

Advanced Battery Materials

Manufacturing processes for engineered battery-grade materials.
Technology Development / R&D

From recovery to manufacturing.

Recovering critical minerals is one part of the circular battery economy. The next opportunity is converting those recovered materials into engineered battery materials. This is a technology-development direction, not a claim of current commercial production.
