Altilium, a UK battery recycling company, is developing a circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, focusing on recovering valuable materials such as graphite and reducing reliance on imports from countries like China. The company is rapidly scaling its operations with government support, aiming to meet increasing demand and comply with upcoming European regulations on recycled content. While competitors like Redwood Materials in the US are diversifying into energy storage, Altilium remains focused on expanding its recycling capacity to supply a significant portion of the UK’s cathode material needs by 2030.
