Botree Recycling Technologies specializes in advanced battery material recycling solutions, with a particular focus on electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage batteries. The Chinese company develops and implements smart separation systems and equipment designed to enable efficient recycling processes. Their solutions support manufacturers, operators, and enterprises in achieving closed-loop material cycles while promoting sustainable development and reducing carbon emissions. Through their innovative approaches to battery recycling, Botree contributes to addressing the growing demand for sustainable practices in the battery industry.
Battery Technology
Botree’s technology portfolio centers on hydrometallurgical recycling processes that extract valuable metals from spent batteries using aqueous solutions. Their proprietary method implements selective leaching and early-stage lithium recovery, significantly reducing energy consumption and chemical usage compared to traditional approaches.
The company’s innovative process incorporates novel co-extractants to recover nickel, cobalt, and manganese simultaneously, further minimizing resource requirements. Their technology achieves high recovery rates for critical materials while maintaining environmental standards. Botree has also developed a carbon footprint assessment model to evaluate and enhance recycling processes from an environmental perspective.
Their solutions extend to material regeneration, ensuring recycled components meet the quality standards required for new battery production. This approach supports the circular economy while reducing dependence on raw material mining. The company’s recycling systems are designed to handle various battery chemistries, including lithium-ion and LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries.
Recent Projects
In 2024, Botree joined the Maritime Battery Forum as its first Asian member, expanding its influence into maritime electrification. The company has been actively involved in developing direct recycling methods aimed at reducing carbon emissions by over 30% compared to conventional techniques. Their R&D facility in Suzhou continues to advance hydrometallurgical recycling and material repair processes, while participating in international initiatives such as the IEA HEV-TCP to establish global standards for battery recycling.
Investors
Botree Recycling Technologies completed its A-round financing with support from several notable investors. The round was jointly led by Zhidao Investment Management and CAS Star, with additional participation from Wuzhong Financial Holding and MiraclePlus.
