1. Battery Resourcers
Founded: 2015
“Battery Resourcers is revolutionizing the production of lithium-ion battery materials by establishing a clean and sustainable supply chain using recycled feedstock. Currently most lithium-ion batteries are landfilled and if they are recycled only the metal value from the batteries is recovered using processes like pyrometallurgy or hydrometallurgy. The Battery Resourcers Hydro-to-Cathode technology directly synthesizes new cathode materials from spent lithium-ion cells more efficiently than traditional methods, reducing cost. Its cathode materials impart over 50% better cycle life and 88% higher power capabilities vs cells using traditional materials. It has the lowest emissions in the industry compared to not only traditional recycling processes but also traditional cathode production processes. All together this enables lower cost cathode materials, less batteries in landfill, a cleaner manufacturing process, better battery performance, and a truly sustainable closed-loop circular battery economy. Battery Resourcers is taking the lithium-ion battery industry to a higher level.”
