Primobius employs a dual-phase recycling approach: mechanical processing with safe, prior-discharge-free shredding and hydrometallurgical processing to extract and purify cobalt, lithium, nickel, copper, and manganese. This method offers lower carbon emissions compared to pyrometallurgy and achieves high recovery rates. The modular design supports various battery chemistries and formats and allows scalable capacity based on client needs.
End-to-end lithium-ion battery recycling plants featuring integrated safety systems, mechanical shredders, and hydrometallurgical modules. Plants are designed for high-purity metal recovery, environmental compliance, and scalable capacity adjustments to meet client requirements.
2024: Purchase order from Mercedes-Benz for a hydrometallurgical refinery plant in Germany processing 2,500 tonnes annually; extension of partnership with Stelco until 2025 with option to acquire up to 50% of Stelco’s recycling operations; signed an MOU with Neo Mobility Asia to explore recycling operations in Thailand.
Jointly funded by Neometals Ltd (ASX:NMT) and SMS group GmbH; received €0.36M in grant funding.
