Battery Resourcers: This Worcester, Mass., startup, a spin-off of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, is focused on making new cathode powders for lithium-ion batteries from postindustrial scrap.
Brunp Recycling Technology Co.: A subsidiary of the leading Li-ion battery maker CATL, Brunp is the largest recycler of those batteries in Asia (and therefore the world). Its new plant in China's Hunan province reportedly can recycle 100,000 metric tons of lithium-ion battery scrap per year.
Ganfeng Lithium: The Chinese Li-ion battery maker plans to build a battery-recycling plant in Mexico, to sell minerals to electric-vehicle makers and suppliers, including Tesla and South Korea's LG Chem.
Green Li-ion: The Singapore startup will open its second recycling plant in early 2021, which focuses on recycling Li-ion battery cathodes that are "99.9 percent pure."
Li-Cycle: Later this year, the Canadian firm will begin constructing a US $175 million recycling plant in Rochester, N.Y. When finished it will be North America's largest Li-ionbattery resource-recovery facility.
Northvolt: This Swedish battery startup, founded by former Tesla executives in 2016, already has an experimental recycling plant up and running and, with aluminum company
Hydro, plans to open an 8,000-metric-ton-per-year recycling plant in Norway this year.
Primobius: This joint venture of Australia's
Neometals and Germany's
SMS Group will demonstrate Neometal's proprietary recycling method with plans to scale up commercially in Europe.
ReCell Center: Funded through a 3-year, $15 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office, this research center is focused on longer-term methods such as direct cathode recycling.
Redwood Materials: Cofounded in 2017 by former Tesla CTO J.B. Straubel, the Carson, Nev., startup has positioned itself as a raw-materials supplier and will recycle electronic waste generally. It's among five initial recipients from Amazon's $2 billion Climate Pledge Fund.
ReLIB: Comparable to the U.S. ReCell Center, this R&D collaboration based at the Faraday Institution in Birmingham, England, is focused on improving the efficiency of EV battery recycling in the United Kingdom.
SMCC Recycling: A joint venture of South Korea's SungEel HiTech Co., a battery recycler, and Metallica Commodities Corp., the company plans to open an "environmentally friendly" 5,000-metric-ton Li-ion recycling plant in Endicott, N.Y.
Tesla: For the past couple of years, Elon Musk has hinted that the EV maker will recycle its own batteries. Now it has reportedly begun doing so in China, where phase 2 of its Shanghai Gigafactory is wrapping up.
Umicore: A leading materials recycler with 11,000 employees worldwide, Umicore has since 2017 focused on "clean mobility," including the recycling of all components of electric vehicles. Its Hoboken, Belgium, plant can handle 7,000 metric tons of Li-ion batteries a year.
