Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have revolutionized portable electronics and are now playing a pivotal role in the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). However, despite their widespread use, the global recycling rate of LIBs remains alarmingly low—below 5%—due to technical and economic challenges. The growing accumulation of spent LIBs underscores the urgent need for environmentally sustainable recycling solutions.

​

Extracting valuable metals from spent LIBs is a complex and resource-intensive process, limiting large-scale adoption. At Hydromet, we have developed an advanced and comprehensive process that efficiently recovers all key metals—including black graphite powder—from LIBs. Our expertise extends to processing LIBs from electric vehicles, which contain varied metal compositions requiring specialized recovery techniques.
