Proprietary in-house recycling technology processes all lithium-ion battery chemistries using mechanical shredding in an inert nitrogen atmosphere (waterless, low-energy). Electrolyte is removed via a unique drying system; ferrous metals are separated magnetically; remaining material is refined into ‘black mass’ rich in lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Further separation yields non-ferrous metals, plastics, and polymers. Developing methods for lithium thionyl chloride battery recycling. The patented LiBox container ensures safe handling and transport by containing thermal events.
LiBox: patented container designed to contain thermal events for safe handling and transport of batteries, used across government, automotive, and other sectors.
2025: Secured a 12-month, up to £2 million contract with a global industrial group for battery recycling at Wolverhampton facility; 2025: Began processing hundreds of EV battery packs from automotive recalls; 2024: Recycled 4,000 lithium-ion battery modules for a major industry participant.
Technology Minerals Plc holds a 48.4% stake with management involvement. It is conducting a £3M EIS-qualifying fundraising managed by Oberon Investments, received a £50K grant from the Clean Futures Accelerator, and its PR is handled by Gracechurch Group.
