Process -What ETCO Do
Every lithium-ion battery holds materials worth recovering, not discarding. Our recycling process safely reclaims lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other critical metals from end-of-life batteries, keeping hazardous components out of landfills and waterways while cutting the environmental footprint of new battery production.
By feeding recovered materials back into the battery supply chain, we reduce dependence on virgin mining, lower carbon emissions across the value chain, and help manufacturers build a genuinely circular, sustainable energy economy.
How Our Lithium Recycle
Seven interconnected stages transform end-of-life batteries into high-purity recovered materials — closing the loop on critical minerals and building a truly circular energy economy.

Mass
Zero Liquid Discharge
All process water is treated and reused, releasing nothing back into the environment.
Low Carbon Emission
Optimised processing keeps energy use and emissions well below primary mining.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Less mining and safer material handling protect soil, air, and water quality.
Energy Efficient
Smart process design recovers more material per unit of energy consumed.
Higher Recovery Rates
Advanced refining recovers a greater share of lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
Lower Processing Cost
Efficient recovery reduces cost per tonne compared to primary extraction.
Work Process
How To Work With Us
From first contact to full-cycle recovery, every step is designed to be transparent, responsible, and easy for our partners to follow.
Battery Assessment
We inspect and classify incoming end-of-life batteries by chemistry, condition, and remaining capacity.
Safe Collection
Certified logistics partners transport batteries under strict safety protocols — protecting people and the environment at every handover.
Material Recovery
Advanced hydrometallurgical processes extract lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese at high purity with zero liquid discharge.
Circular Re-entry
Recovered materials are fed back to battery manufacturers, closing the loop and reducing reliance on primary mining.
