Technology Minerals PLC stands as the United Kingdom’s first listed company dedicated to creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals. Based in London, the company integrates battery metal mining and recycling operations to address the rising demand for essential materials in the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors. Through its subsidiary Recyclus, Technology Minerals processes both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, recovering valuable metals for reuse in new battery production. The company’s approach combines resource extraction with advanced recycling capabilities, ensuring a reliable supply chain while minimizing environmental impact.
Battery Technology
Technology Minerals’ technical expertise centers on two primary areas: lithium-ion and lead-acid battery recycling. Through Recyclus, the company operates facilities that process spent batteries using mechanical and chemical methods to extract valuable materials. The lithium-ion recycling process involves dismantling and crushing batteries to produce “black mass,” a concentration of metals including lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. This material undergoes refinement to meet battery-grade specifications for manufacturing new cells.
The company’s lead-acid battery recycling operations incorporate automated systems to improve efficiency and worker safety. These facilities separate battery components, recovering lead and other materials for reprocessing. The recycling methods developed by Technology Minerals achieve high recovery rates while maintaining material purity, essential for reuse in new battery production.
Additionally, the company maintains mining operations in several locations, extracting raw materials needed for battery production. This dual-stream approach of mining and recycling ensures a steady supply of battery metals while reducing dependency on primary resource extraction.
Recent Projects
In recent developments, Technology Minerals has expanded its recycling capabilities through Recyclus Group. The company established a new Discharge and Dismantle Unit for lithium-ion batteries and secured an agreement with LOHUM Cleantech for black mass processing. Technology Minerals also completed the sale of its Irish lithium assets, generating capital for future growth. The company strengthened its position through a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Defence and continues developing relationships with major automotive manufacturers.
