We are scaling rapidly, from successful pilot to construction of the UK’s largest planned fully integrated recycling facility, processing scrap from over 200,000 EVs per year.

Altilium’s small-scale commercial plant in Plymouth will have the capacity to recycle over 200,000kg of batteries per year, enabling production of high volumes of battery metal salts, P-CAM and CAM for qualification with automotive OEMs and cell manufacturers. The 18,000 square foot facility, the first of its kind in the UK, started operation end of 2024.

Our existing SX-EW hydrometallurgical plant in Eastern Europe will begin operations in 2025, with capacity to recycle battery waste from 24,000 EVs a year. There are few environmentally friendly options to recycle lithium-ion scrap in Europe given the capital expenditure required and the permitting timeline associated with building new hydrometallurgical facilities such as ours, giving Altilium first mover advantage.

Altilium’s ACT 4 mega-scale battery recycling plant, located in Teesside, will be capable of processing battery 50,000 MT per year, providing a secure and sustainable supply of the critical metals needed to support the growing production of EVs in the UK. The plant later this decade will produce 30,000 tonnes of CAM a year, providing 20% of the UK’s need for cathode active material by 2030.
