Turning battery scrap into America's metal supply

Our purpose

The metals are already here.

Nickel, cobalt, copper and lithium power vehicles, the grid and national defense. Large quantities of them already sit inside the batteries America retires every year, yet most of that scrap leaves the country to be refined.

Battery Metals is developing a refinery that keeps those metals here, taking end-of-life batteries and manufacturing scrap to finished metal designed to LME grade, on one U.S. site.
