We help EV battery manufacturers and end users maximize value. Beyond producing commodity metals, we use advanced particle engineering techniques to transform used Li-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap into highly engineered precursor (pCAM) and cathode active materials (CAM) that meet client specifications.
Our full-service logistics, materials-tracking and customer support services simplify the pursuit of greater sustainability and higher value.
Our industry-first, Hydro-to-Cathode™ direct precursor synthesis process transforms a mixed input of discarded batteries and manufacturing scrap into active cathode battery material – raising the value of critical elements like lithium, cobalt, and nickel – while driving down cost and carbon emissions.
