Battery materials company opens commercial-scale, lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Nevada

American Battery Technology Company has begun operations at its new commercial-scale, lithium-ion battery recycling facility in McCarran, Nevada. The company claims that its integrated battery recycling system utilizes de-manufacturing and targeted chemical extraction train in order to recover battery materials with high yields, low cost, and with a low environmental footprint. The result is an efficient separation, recovery, and purification of battery-grade products. The new facility has the capacity to process over 20,000 metric tonnes of battery feedstock materials per year.

In a recent quote, ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert said, “We are excited to have achieved this major milestone and to now be generating commercial-scale quantities of domestic recycled battery metal products. By securing our move-in-ready industrial facility in early 2023, we were able to greatly accelerate our timeline to operations, and the last step of receiving approvals for the updated operational permits for our specific internally-developed processes were received over the past week.”
