Battery recycling project, UK
Name of the Project
Battery recycling project.
Location
This ecosystem will be anchored at a new recycling plant located at the Britannia Refined Metals (BRM) operation, Northfleet, in Kent, in the UK.
Project Owner/s
The project is a joint venture (JV) between diversified mining company Glencore and battery pioneer Britishvolt.
Project Description
The JV will develop a world-leading ecosystem for battery recycling in the UK. BRM will continue with its current production and trading operations. The facility will process all Britishvolt’s battery manufacturing scrap from its Gigafactory, in Blyth.
Once complete, the plant will be the JV’s first battery recycling facility in the UK, with an expected minimum processing capacity of 10 000 t/y of lithium-ion batteries, including valuable battery manufacturing scrap, portable electronics batteries and full electric vehicle packs. The JV will also consider developing other recycling activities such as the refining of black mass into battery-grade raw materials.
