Altilium is a UK clean technology company that recycles old EV batteries into sustainable battery materials, supporting Britain’s transition to net-zero emissions. The firm aims to create a circular economy by recovering critical minerals like lithium, nickel, and graphite from waste streams rather than mining new resources.

Having won investment from SQM, the world’s largest lithium producer, Altilium is gaining the attention of industry leaders and is preparing for the next phase of its journey.

Their EcoCathode™ Process

Altilium’s proprietary green recycling technology transforms used EV batteries and manufacturing waste into high-purity materials needed for new battery production. The process achieves 95% recovery of critical minerals, 99% recovery of graphite, and produces 24% lower emissions compared to conventional recycling methods.

By 2040, the company projects that UK battery recycling could supply half the critical minerals needed for domestic EV production, reducing import dependence and strengthening energy security whilst decarbonising the automotive supply chain.
