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.
From innovation to industrial scale
95% recovery of cathode metals
74% reduction in climate change impact
100% sovereign cathode and anode material
National infrastructure
As the UK scales domestic battery manufacturing and EV production, Altilium is building the industrial infrastructure needed to meet the growing demand for lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and other critical materials.
Our ACT2 pilot plant has successfully proven our proprietary recycling and refining technologies at scale, while ACT3, our first commercial demonstration facility, will become the UK’s first industrial-scale plant capable of recovering battery-grade lithium, nickel, graphite and other critical materials from end-of-life EV batteries. Together, these facilities provide the foundation for a sovereign UK battery materials industry.
Technology leadership
Altilium’s patented technologies transform end-of-life batteries and production scrap into high-value materials that can be returned directly to the battery supply chain, creating a truly circular production model.
Our proprietary EcoCathode and EcoAnode technologies are capable of recovering more than 95% of critical battery metals for production of cathode active materials (CAM) and anode active materials (AAM). The technology has already been demonstrated at industrially representative scale, with successful production and qualification of the UK’s first battery cells using CAM recovered from end-of-life batteries.
Digital intelligence
MateriaAI provides the digital intelligence that underpins Altilium’s critical materials platform. Spanning the entire battery value chain, it combines AI, advanced data analytics and digital traceability to optimise battery sourcing, materials recovery, refining and supply chain management.
By connecting physical infrastructure with real-time intelligence, MateriaAI improves operational performance, enables end-to-end transparency and helps build a smarter, more resilient and more secure circular battery economy.

Memorandum of Understanding signing for supply of 10,000 MT per year of end-of-life electric vehicle battery “black mass” as feedstock to Altilium Metals first recycling plant in Europe
Once an Electric Vehicle battery reaches the end of its[…]
As part of it’s engineering studies for processing end-of-life electric vehicle batteries at it’s Medet Hydrometallurgical Plant in Europe, a potential net savings of 2.5 kg CO2 per kg of battery recycled has been identified, which is a carbon saving of 50,000 MT per year
Materials production is responsible for approximately half of the greenhouse gas emissions from battery production, and recycled materials typically have a lower carbon footprint than the same materials from virgin sources. For example, production of[...]
