Britishvolt has announced a joint venture with strategic partner Glencore to build a battery recycling ecosystem in the UK.
This ecosystem will be based in a recycling plant located at the Britannia Refined Metals (BRM) operation in Northfleet, a Glencore company.
Glencore, an Anglo-Swiss mining giant, is also teaming up with the British battery-maker to source essential materials for EV batteries.
The project marks a return to recycling for BRM and aims to support creating a circular economy that supplies recycled materials and minerals back into the battery supply chain.
Once complete, the plant will be Glencore and Britishvolt’s first UK battery recycling facility with an expected annual processing capacity of a minimum of 10,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries, including valuable battery manufacturing scrap, portable electronics batteries and full EV packs. The facility will process all Britishvolt’s valuable battery manufacturing scrap from their Gigafactory in Blyth.
