Critical Minerals Made in Britain
Embracing a circular economy by turning old EV batteries into a domestic source of critical minerals
Securing the UK’s Critical Materials Future
Combining first-of-a-kind industrial-scale infrastructure, patented materials processing technology and AI-powered digital intelligence, we recover, refine and return critical minerals to UK industry – delivering domestically sourced and sustainable battery materials that reduce reliance on imports, strengthen national resilience and dramatically lower carbon emissions.
This is critical minerals security, made in Britain.
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.
