Critical Minerals Made in Britain
Embracing a circular economy by turning old EV batteries into a domestic source of critical minerals.
Sustainable, low carbon battery materials
Altilium is a UK-based clean technology group supporting the transformation of the global energy sector from fossil-based to zero-carbon.
We are supporting the UK net-zero challenge and energy security with high volumes of cathode and anode materials from recycling old EV batteries, promoting a circular economy and decarbonising automotive supply chains.
By 2040, a UK based battery recycling ecosystem could supply 50% of the critical minerals, including lithium, nickel and graphite needed for domestic EV production, reducing reliance on imports and strengthening energy security.
Our vision is for a domestic EV battery supply chain, where the critical minerals powering the energy transition are recovered from recycling existing waste streams, reducing mining and preserving our natural resources.
Delivering green value, with no green premium
Altilium believes our EV battery materials should not demand a green premium, but instead focus on a green discount for recycled, circular economy raw materials.
We have developed the next generation of recycled, eco-friendly anode and cathode materials that are cheaper, higher quality and help automakers meet their regulatory and sustainability targets, which also just happen to be green.
Our focus is UK domestic, affordable, sustainable and superior battery materials that power the EV transition, cutting costs and emissions simultaneously.
Process
At Altilium Clean Technology, we’re redefining the EV battery value chain in the UK with our EcoCathode™ green recycling process. This proprietary technology transforms used EV batteries and gigafactory scrap into high-purity, battery-grade metal salts, precursor CAM (P-CAM) and cathode active material (CAM) essential for sustainable battery production.
EcoCathode ™ green processing in numbers:
• 95% recovery of critical minerals including lithium, nickel and cobalt
• 99% recovery of graphite for use in new anodes
• 24% lower emissions versus conventional hydrometallurgical recycling
As domestic transport remains the UK’s largest carbon emitting sector, our low-carbon battery materials allow automakers to decarbonise transport.
