Altilium operates ACT3, the country's first commercial recycling plant for critical minerals from spent electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Located in Plymouth, the plant can process 24,000 EV batteries annually using Altilium's proprietary EcoCathode hydrometallurgical process, which recovers over 95% of cathode metals and over 99% of graphite from battery waste. The resulting process yields critical intermediate materials used in battery cell production: mixed nickel hydroxide precipitate, lithium sulfate, and graphite - all essential components for the production of next-generation cathodes and anodes.
