North America - Feedstock Director

Our Playing Field!

Lithion has developed a sustainable, robust, and secure solution for producing strategic materials from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and nonconforming components from their production. These batteries are found in everyday objects such as electric cars, rechargeable tools, and electronic devices. Our technologies enable the recovery of up to 95% of their components with a significantly lower environmental footprint than traditional mining. Our solution ensures these minerals remain within the battery supply chain, making the energy transition truly sustainable. Lithion closes the loop on strategic materials!
