Recycling is no longer about waste management — it’s about producing critical raw materials.
The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) will lead, in the coming years, to a massive increase in batteries to be recycled — starting as early as 2030.
With an estimated ~25% CAGR, Li‑ion battery recycling is set to become one of the most dynamic industrial markets of the decade.
The rules of the game are changing, Across the world, governments are accelerating regulation.
As an example, in Europe, regulations will require by 2031 to recover up to 80% of the lithium.
At Adionics, we anticipated this shift.
Over the past two years, our R&D teams have dedicated significant efforts to adapting our technology to lithium extraction from end‑of‑life batteries.
Unlike conventional hydrometallurgical processes, Adionics enables selective lithium extraction from the very first stages of the recycling process.
- High selectivity, even in the presence of multiple metals
- Compatible with various leaching processes
- Direct production of battery‑grade lithium
- Reduced downstream purification steps
