For 30 years, we have lead the battery recycling industry though our services, processing and material upgrading. Today, as the most knowledgable and diverse battery management and materials company we are seeing the growth of the electrification age. Servicing over 7,000 customers to date and having recycled hundreds of millions of pounds over the course of our history we are leading the battery lifecycle legacy.

Contributing to the circular economy model is our core focus. The pursuit of economic prosperity and quality of life for a growing global population can only be achieved through the sustainable and mindful use of natural resources. By recirculating reclaimed materials back into the manufacturing marketplace, we reduce the need for newly mined materials, lessening the strain on the earth.
