Multi-stage lithium-ion battery recycling with safe dismantling, discharging, and recovery of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite at up to 96% rates. Automated processing at 4 tons/hour to produce high-purity black mass; extraction of aluminum, copper, iron, and plastics; specialized storage, advanced dismantling equipment, and a second-life battery evaluation program.
Recycled battery materials including black mass intermediate product; recovered metals (lithium, nickel, cobalt, aluminum, copper, iron) and plastics; second-life battery modules for reuse in less demanding applications.
Construction of the Meppen recycling facility began early 2024, with completion scheduled for Q4 2024. Initial capacity is 20,000 tons/year, expanding to 60,000 tons in later phases, featuring URT-designed automated processing systems.
