We are the UK's first industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycler, delivering cradle-to-cradle solutions in the UK battery recycling market. By supporting OEMs in lowering their carbon footprint by eliminating the need for international disposal, Recyclus Group provides a sustainable alternative to exporting or landfilling consumer electronics batteries.
Permitted to process up to 22,000 tonnes of Li-ion batteries annually, our recycling process is industry leading, capable of safely dealing with the 5+ types of Li-ion battery chemistries, in any combination, at any one time.
With proprietary technology and full ownership of both the process and IP, our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to offer tailored, agile services that enhance operational efficiency.
Recyclus Group is dedicated to delivering a national cradle-to-cradle recycling solution for lithium-ion batteries, supporting the UK's transition to electrification and sustainable energy consumption.
Our innovative, industrial-scale recycling technology, combined with UN-certified battery boxes, ensures that safety and sustainability are at the forefront of our operations. We are committed to responsible battery recycling practices that align with the growing demand for cleaner energy solutions.
With existing and further critical battery metals shortages on the horizon, securing a stable supply of the key materials will prove vital on the road to electrification. By recycling lithium-ion batteries into their core components, Recyclus reduces pressure on global supply chains and offers a sustainable, long-term solution, driving the circular economy within the battery metals market.
Nearly every fourth battery is a rechargeable lithium battery. Most are embedded in electric appliances and, with a growth in electric vehicles, there is an estimated $6bn USD opportunity from recoverable materials by 2030, and $45bn USD second-life battery applications market.
There is currently no capability for industrial-scale recovery of these materials within the UK, with spent batteries primarily being exported to Asia for recycling and processing. This has providing a unique opportunity for Recyclus to establish an industrial-scale capability in the UK and beyond.
Recyclus' first lithium-ion recycling plant is located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, and is permitted by the Environment Agency to process up to 22,000 tonnes per annum.
Using our own in-house, engineered and manufactured technology, Recyclus is able to recycle any type of lithium-ion battery, regardless of type, chemistry or condition, and recover the black mass, containing the valuable lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese cathode metals.
Recyclus has designed a market-leading solution for the safe storage and transportation of lithium-ion batteries - the LiBox.
The LiBox is a pallet-sized, steel fabricated box, UN-certified and ADR compliant - the highest global standard for transporting hazardous goods. Rated to a 20kWh power rating, the highest in the industry, the LiBox is specially created to deliver an unparalleled level of safety, value and longevity, able to control thermal conditions of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius.
Each box is filled with layers of Lithium Battery Fire Protection Pillows designed to contain and extinguish fires – should they occur – preventing risk of damage to property, people and the environment. The design of the box is modular, so any damaged parts can be simply swapped out and replaced for ongoing use.
The LiBox provides a logistics solution to the rising demands for safe storage and handling of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and is now available for use across all sectors including automotive, portable devices and industrial.
