Lithium-ion battery recycling
Solutions
Battery Pollution Technologies is establishing a national circular economy for lithium-ion batteries. Our comprehensive technology encompasses the entire lifecycle, from safe end-of-life management to eco-friendly repurposing and novel chemical recovery of critical battery materials.
Lithium-ion Battery Recycling
Battery recycling requires efficient pre-treatment to ensure a high recovery rate of critical battery components. We have designed a highly automated and safe mechanical disassembly process to dismantle and shred battery packs which separates them into foils and high quality black mass.
Then our proprietary chemical engineering approach utilises state-of-the-art techniques to extract valuable battery metals. The solution leverages pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy processes to deliver high quality separated battery metals fit for reintroduction into the battery manufacturing supply chain.

Safety, Transport and Logistics
The increasing frequency of dangerous lithium-ion battery fires has led to global concerns about emergency response safety. Battery Pollution Technologies is at the forefront of advancing safety, transportation, and logistics solutions to deal with lithium-ion battery waste.
Through cutting-edge innovations, including advanced Fire Suppression materials and AI-driven Safe Transportation Units we aim to redefine safe Lithium-ion battery handling.
Our commitment extends to providing precision instruments for first responders dealing with Lithium-based fires, and our Mobile Sensor Battery monitoring system enhances crisis resilience.

Daintree Batteries
During the next few decades there will be terawatt-hours of lithium-ion batteries that do not meet required specifications for use in an EV but still have many useful applications.
We focus on second-life batteries for markets benefiting from increased consumer and light commercial vehicles: home energy storage, on-site charging for commercial vehicles, and destination charging stations.
Our strategic production aligns with a vision to harness potential in markets poised for growth, emphasising our dedication to innovative synergy at the intersection of battery technology and sustainable energy solutions.
