American Battery Technology Company implements a closed-loop battery recycling system that separates and recovers critical materials from end-of-life batteries, purifying these metals to the same or even higher quality than traditional primary mining materials. Instead of using brute-force methods, such as placing batteries in high-temperature furnaces and shredding systems, ABTC developed an automatic deconstruction process combined with a targeted, melt-free hydrometallurgical method that allows battery packs to be deconstructed into modules, modules into cells, cells into cell components and then sorts these cell components. This results in reduced waste, higher material recovery rates and quality. The company also operates sustainable lithium production facility in Tonopah Flats.
