Battery designed to facilitate lithium recycling Deep-dive in our prototype line

Summary of Blue Solutions's Lithium Metal Recycling Capabilities

Blue Solutions is pioneering lithium metal recycling with its innovative and patent-protected methods that enable direct extraction of lithium metal from used solid-state cells. The company has achieved an impressive 90% lithium recovery rate. A fully operational solid-state battery recycling line is planned for 2026/2027, featuring an estimated capacity of approximately 100 MWh per year.

To support the growth of the lithium-metal cell market, we are exploring a licensing model to scale advanced battery recycling technology for larger facilities. The company has already garnered significant interest from key players in the lithium-metal solid-state battery industry, as well as OEMs, demonstrating the potential impact of their innovative battery recycling approach.

Dismantling Batteries

The LMP battery pack and modules are carefully dismantled and sent to existing recycling channels : this is the case for the standard recyclable materials such as aluminum and copper that are being recovered in the process.

Lithium Extraction
from cells

Metallic lithium is extracted from solid-state cells through a patented dry extraction process developed by Blue Solutions, ensuring efficient and innovative material recovery.

Lithium Purification

The recovered lithium will soon undergo a purification process under development, enabling it to be reintroduced into the manufacturing process, thus promoting a closed-loop recycling system for solid-state batteries.

Residue Treatment

Remaining cell materials are treated using pyro-metallurgy or hydro-metallurgy, both established industrial processes that further enhance material recovery while minimizing waste.

This advanced battery recycling approach highlights Blue Solutions’s commitment to sustainability, ensuring minimal environmental impact while maximizing resource utilization. The integration of innovative techniques and existing methods establishes a reliable pathway for lithium recovery and reuse in future solid-state energy storage applications.
