Last Friday, we were delighted to welcome representatives from two industry-leading organisations, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Rho Motion to our Cellcycle facilities. As one of the UK’s foremost lithium battery recycling companies, it was an excellent opportunity to showcase our comprehensive suite of services and share insights about our operations, market position, and plans for the future.
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Rho Motion have their fingers on the pulse of the fast-evolving battery supply chain, so their interest in our work highlights the importance of sustainable solutions for managing end-of-life lithium batteries. The visit offered us the chance to demonstrate how Cellcycle is at the forefront of innovative battery recycling and critical mineral recovery in the UK.
During the tour, we provided an in-depth look at our advanced battery recycling processes, beginning with how we handle the testing, discharging, and triaging of high-voltage (HV) battery packs and modules. We also demonstrated our mechanical separation and shredding system, which ensures the efficient and safe breakdown of battery components for further processing.
One of the highlights of the visit was the exploration of our biometallurgical laboratory. Here, we were able to showcase our pioneering bio-based recycling processes, which are setting new benchmarks in the industry. Our team shared the groundbreaking results we’ve achieved in the recovery of critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel from end-of-life batteries—an essential step toward closing the loop on the battery supply chain and reducing the need for virgin material mining.
The team from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Rho Motion were keen to learn about our future direction, and we shared our vision for scaling up operations and contributing to the UK’s battery recycling capacity as the electric vehicle market continues to grow. With our innovative processes and focus on sustainability, we are well-positioned to meet the increasing demand for efficient and eco-friendly recycling solutions.
