Update on Wolverhampton Lithium Battery Recycling
Production Achieving up to 45% Recycling Rate for Black Mass
Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the UK's pioneering firm in
establishing a circular economy for battery metals, is excited to
share progress updates from its 48.35% subsidiary, Recyclus Group
Ltd. Recyclus operates one of the first industrial-scale
lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery recycling plants in the UK, located in
Wolverhampton.
Recent achievements at the Wolverhampton plant include :
-- The accumulation of 100 tonnes of feedstock, the maximum
allowed under the Environmental Agency permit.
-- A significant rise in recycling production, reaching up to 45% net black mass yield.
This black mass, a key component in battery manufacturing,
contains essential metals like lithium, manganese, nickel, and
cobalt. The Wolverhampton facility not only recovers these valuable
metals but also segregates and prepares other materials such as
copper, aluminium, and plastics for resale. With the market rate
for black mass exceeding GBP3,500 per tonne, this process marks a
notable stride in battery recycling efficiency.
The Wolverhampton plant continues to see a steady influx of
Li-ion battery waste from various commercial sources. Recyclus'
commercial team is actively engaging with numerous UK organizations
to streamline battery recycling, leveraging their robust logistics
network for efficient collection and processing.
On the funding front, Technology Minerals remains
well-positioned to support ongoing operations with convertible loan
facilities for additional working capital as needed. Furthermore,
Recyclus has access to GBP525,000 under a GBP1 million loan
facility from a company shareholder.
Robin Brundle, Director and Co-Founder of Recyclus Group ,
commented : " Our Wolverhampton plant is successfully ramping up
production of high-quality, high-rate black mass, crucial for the
battery sector. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of
our technical solutions and the expertise of our on-site engineers,
emphasizing our commitment to sustainable battery metal
recovery."
