Altilium Launches LFP Battery Recycling to Boost Sustainable EV Supply Chain

Altilium has launched its recycling operations for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Altilium, a UK-based clean technology company, has launched its recycling operations for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, marking a significant step toward sustainability in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. By utilizing its proprietary EcoCathode™ technology, the company can recover over 97% of lithium and 99% of graphite from LFP batteries, making the recycling process both commercially viable and environmentally responsible. This initiative addresses the growing shift toward LFP batteries in the UK, which, while less valuable due to their iron and phosphate content, offer significant opportunities for resource conservation. Altilium’s innovation ensures that these batteries contribute to a circular economy, supporting automotive manufacturers in meeting new regulatory and sustainability targets.

In addition to LFP recycling, Altilium continues to process nickel cobalt manganese (NMC) batteries and Gigafactory production scrap at its facilities in Devon, producing high-nickel cathode active materials. The company’s new ACT2 recycling plant in Plymouth can process 300kg of black mass waste per day, and its upcoming Teesside hub is set to become one of Europe’s largest EV battery recycling sites, handling material from over 150,000 EVs annually. This expansion reinforces Altilium’s role in building a sustainable battery supply chain and strengthens the UK’s position as a leader in clean transportation technology.
