We explore why battery recycling and supply chain security have become such pressing global issues, and how Altilium’s proprietary “urban mining” technology differs from conventional approaches.
The conversation covers the company’s progress to date, including an £18.5 million UK Government grant, strategic backing from SQM, Marubeni and Mizuho Bank, and partnerships with major automotive names including JLR and Nissan.
We also discuss the environmental benefits highlighted by independent lifecycle analysis, the scale of the commercial opportunity ahead of upcoming European recycled-content regulations, and the long-term vision for the UK’s circular battery economy.
