Recovering over 95% of crucial metals from old EV batteries, the technology will contribute to a sustainable domestic supply of battery raw materials, reducing carbon emissions by over 50% and reducing the cost of CAM by more than 20% compared to conventional virgin mining practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Altilium has filed a patent application for its proprietary EcoCathode\u2122 recycling process, underlining its technical leadership in the UK and its commitment to establishing a national champion for EV battery recycling.
