Leading online retailer adopts Recyclus solution

Recyclus to deploy combined solution to recycle lithium-ion batteries and utilise its LiBox safe transportation and storage boxes

Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the first listed UK company focused on creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals, is pleased to announce that its 48.35% owned battery recycling business, Recyclus Group Ltd ("Recyclus"), will recycle end-of-life lithium-ion ("Li-ion") batteries for a leading online retailer as part of their ongoing maintenance programme.

The online retailer will send end-of-life Li-ion battery packs to Recyclus' industrial scale Li-ion battery recycling facility for processing. Having already successfully recycled several thousand end-of-life Li-ion batteries from the company, Recyclus will continue as a service provider to process battery waste for their ongoing maintenance programme. In addition, to store and transport the batteries, they will use Recyclus' proprietary Li-ion battery storage boxes, LiBox, which are UN-certified and ADR compliant - the highest global standard for transporting hazardous goods.

By providing industrial-scale Li-ion battery recycling and ensuring safe storage and transportation, the programme significantly mitigates the environmental hazards associated with Li-ion battery disposal. Recyclus offers a crucial cradle-to-cradle solution, addressing the challenges posed by the increasing volumes of end-of-life Li-ion batteries resulting from the global shift towards electrification.

Robin Brundle, Chairman of Technology Minerals and Director of Recyclus, said: "It is a pleasure to partner with a company that shares our dedication to delivering sustainable energy-related solutions. The materials recovered from recycling Li-ion batteries will support our mission to establish a cradle-to-cradle circular economy returning recovered critical battery metals back into the industrial supply chain. This builds on the momentum of other recently announced partnerships, further solidifying Recyclus' growing commercial traction."
