Cirba Solutions, the premiere battery recycling and management company, is expanding its lithium-ion battery collaboration with Call2Recycle, the nation’s premier battery collections, logistics and recycling programme.
Cirba Solutions will be the non-profit’s strategic partner in processing post-consumer lithium-ion batteries.
Post-consumer batteries are most frequently found in items such as cell phones, laptops, tablets, power tools, and other household items.
Cirba Solutions’ role in the lithium-ion battery industry
As a leading lithium-ion battery processor, Cirba Solutions brings unparalleled experience with commercial-scale processing of various feedstock sources.
These include battery plant manufacturing scrap and end-of-life batteries from vehicles, consumer devices, and other items.
With Cirba Solutions’ two lithium-ion battery processing sites today and a new flagship facility being added, this demonstrates the growing demand for recovering critical elements, such as nickel, lithium, and cobalt, in today’s battery market.
What will happen under the agreement?
Under the agreement, Cirba Solutions will handle processing consumer lithium-ion batteries gathered by Call2Recycle from around the country and spearhead the separation of critical materials from the batteries to be placed back into the battery supply chain.
On the other hand, Call2Recycle will leverage its expertise in safe, efficient, and compliant battery aggregation and collection.
Ensuring traceability and transparency is critical to both Cirba Solutions and Call2Recycle. This vital link in the supply chain is supported by Call2Recycle’s GreenTrax platform, which provides a secure framework for data sharing.
“Cirba Solutions has been a key strategic partner for Call2Recycle by being highly adaptable and innovative, and its processing capabilities support a critical need in helping to create a better future.
“This will ensure that we can continue to support sustainably sourced content and do our part to build a circular battery supply chain,” said Leo Raudys, CEO and President of Call2Recycle.
David Klanecky, President & CEO of Cirba Solutions, added: “As a leading lithium-ion battery processor, we have a rich history working with Call2Recycle as our businesses have been collaborating for nearly a decade.”
He concluded: “Combining our battery recycling knowledge with Call2Recycle’s commitment and passion to deliver sustainable and effective recycling options is a win-win for the environment and the battery supply chain.”
