EcoNiLi Battery Group, established in 2021, specializes in lithium-ion battery and solar panel recycling. Based in Malaysia, the company operates four advanced recycling facilities across Malaysia, Indonesia, and Spain, with a combined annual processing capacity of 86,000 metric tons. The organization focuses on sustainable practices through closed-loop recycling services, particularly in reclaiming valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. Their dedication to environmental stewardship and innovative solutions positions them as a significant contributor to the circular economy in the battery industry.
Battery Technology
EcoNiLi’s technology centers on hydrometallurgical processing, which enables efficient metal recovery from spent lithium-ion batteries. Their facilities process various battery types, producing “black mass” – a concentrated mixture of valuable metals including lithium, nickel, and cobalt. This material undergoes further refinement to create industrial-grade products such as lithium carbonate and cobalt/nickel electrolytes.
The company’s technical capabilities extend to providing CE-certified recycling equipment, designed specifically for safe and efficient battery disposal. Their equipment handles batteries of all sizes while maintaining strict environmental standards. The recycling process minimizes waste and maximizes material recovery, supporting the sustainable management of battery resources.
EcoNiLi’s facilities incorporate solar power generation, reducing operational carbon emissions by 45%. This integration of renewable energy into their recycling operations demonstrates their commitment to minimizing environmental impact throughout their processes.
Recent Projects
In 2024, EcoNiLi expanded its operations with a new 45,000-metric-ton capacity recycling facility in Alicante, Spain. This facility, operating as EcoNiLi Battery Europe S.L., includes research laboratories and modern offices, scheduled to reach full capacity by Q4 2025.
April 2024 marked the launch of their solar panel recycling program in Malaysia, broadening their environmental initiatives. Additionally, the company is developing a 24,000-ton annual capacity battery recycling plant in Malaysia’s Perak state, focusing on both domestic and imported battery processing.
