Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, is pleased to announce that is has begun processing of lithium-ion battery waste at its new ACT 2 recycling facility in Plymouth, marking a significant milestone in the UK’s journey towards a circular economy for critical battery materials. The cutting-edge facility, [...]
Increasing investment in battery recycling and a surge in new policies and regulation are helping to drive strong growth in critical minerals recycling, with the market’s value set to reach $200 billion by 2050, according to a new IEA report published this week. The report, Recycling of Critical Minerals: strategies to scale up recycling and urban [...]
Automakers face challenges in transitioning from ICE to EVs, including fierce competition, high R&D costs, low profit margins, battery materials supply chain constraints and the need to scale production, all while adapting to shifting consumer demands and regulatory pressures. Altilium believes this isn't the time to push EV battery materials with a “Green Premium”, but [...]
Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, has today announced a major breakthrough in the development of the UK’s only domestic supply of sustainable low-carbon battery materials, with test results confirming for the first time that its recycled cathode active materials (CAM) are comparable to commercial materials. The [...]
Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, is pleased to announce the visit of Councillor Tudor Evans OBE, Leader of Plymouth City Council, to its new state-of-the-art EV battery recycling plant in Plymouth today, as the company embarks on the next phase of its ambitious growth plans. [...]
We have won two grants totalling £1 million for the zero-carbon transportation of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries to battery recycling stations (or spokes) and design of an automated battery recycling facility for black mass processing. Transporting old EV batteries is challenging and expensive, given their weight and health and safety risks and could contributes 3.5% [...]
Altilium Metals, a UK-based green technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, has today announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Marubeni Corporation, Japanese trading and investment group. Under the framework of the MOU, the two companies will work together to explore opportunities to jointly develop EV battery recycling [...]
This milestone is a significant achievement in our UK leadership in recycling EV batteries producing domestic and low carbon cathode active materials (CAM) for a UK electrified supply chain. Our highlights, learnings and progress: Improved Recycling Techniques: We have made significant progress in optimising a proprietary process recovering +95 % of lithium, nickel, cobalt and [...]
Bio mining employs microbes which can oxidise metal as part of their metabolism. It has been widely used in the mining industry, where microorganisms are used to extract valuable metals from ores. Urban mining recovers critical metals from electronic waste and end-of-life EV batteries. Under a UK Government SMART Innovation Grant, we have commenced work [...]
Testing of our recycled graphite by a European battery anode manufacturer has shown a good match to primary graphite in areas of purity and physio-chemical characteristics. The new results show promising potential for further optimizing the recovery of graphite and combining synthetic and natural graphite in new anodes, lowering costs and providing a domestic and [...]
