Renewable Metals Information

Renewable Metals is an Australian technology company that has developed a new approach to lithium-ion battery recycling and refining. Our proprietary alkali-based process provides an integrated pathway for recovering valuable critical minerals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, with the technology developed and demonstrated at our 2000tpa facility in Perth, Western Australia. Our technology is designed to simplify the way lithium-ion batteries are recycled and refined. Unlike conventional recycling routes that typically separate battery shredding and downstream refining into multiple stages, our process integrates these steps into a single recycling and refining pathway. It can process major lithium-ion battery chemistries including NMC, NCA, LCO, LMO and LFP, recovering more than 95% of lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese. The process eliminates the need for black mass to be exported for further refining and avoids sodium sulfate waste associated with conventional acid-based processing. The result is a simpler, cost effective and more environmentally sustainable pathway for recovering critical materials from used batteries. Renewable Metals’ technology is designed to reduce processing steps, recycle process reagents and water, minimise waste and recover critical metals that can be returned to global battery and industrial supply chains. Developed in Australia with global application in mind, our aim is to help create a more circular and sustainable supply of the critical materials needed for the energy transition.
