Problem
The increasing reliance on lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and consumer electronics is creating a growing volume of end-of-life batteries and production scrap. Inefficient recycling methods for these batteries can lead to the loss of valuable materials and pose environmental risks due to hazardous waste generation.
Solution
Primobius offers a two-step recycling process for lithium-ion batteries, designed to recover high-purity materials such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel for reuse in the battery supply chain. The process aims to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions and hazardous waste production compared to traditional recycling methods. By providing ethically sourced, non-conflict materials, Primobius supports supply chain resilience and contributes to a circular economy. The company's scalable and efficient recycling solution is designed to meet the growing demand for battery recycling services, particularly in the electric vehicle and consumer electronics sectors. Primobius's hydrometallurgical process allows for the recovery of battery constituents that would otherwise be recycled inefficiently.
Target Audience
Primobius targets battery manufacturers, electric vehicle manufacturers, consumer electronics companies, and other stakeholders in the battery supply chain seeking sustainable and efficient recycling solutions.
