Lithium-ion Battery Recycling
Introduction
Recovering Value From End-of-Life Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are becoming an increasingly important part of electric mobility, energy storage and consumer technology. As battery volumes grow, so does the need for responsible recovery of the materials they contain.
Sircle focuses on the front end of the battery recycling chain, handling end-of-life batteries through controlled collection, discharge, dismantling and mechanical processing.
The objective is simple: recover valuable material fractions safely, consistently and in forms that can move into downstream recovery and refining.
Our Ingot Manufacturing Approach
From Battery To Recoverable Material
The quality of an aluminium ingot is influenced by what enters the furnace, how the melt is managed and how the final product is cast and checked.
Collect
End-of-life lithium-ion batteries are collected under controlled handling procedures, with attention to safe transportation and traceability from intake.
Discharge
Battery units are handled and discharged according to processes designed around the specific safety requirements of energetic materials.
Dismantle
Battery packs and assemblies are dismantled to separate components and prepare the material for further mechanical processing.
Process
Processed battery material undergoes size reduction and separation to produce recoverable fractions, including black mass and other valuable materials.
Recover
Recovered fractions are prepared for downstream processing and refining, creating pathways for valuable battery materials to return to productive use.
Processing Capability
Designed For The Battery Recycling Chain
Our aluminium recycling operations are designed to handle different recovered material streams while maintaining focus on quality, recovery and consistency.
Battery Intake & Handling
Controlled handling of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries with safety-focused processes.
Discharge & Dismantling
Preparation of battery systems through controlled discharge and dismantling before mechanical processing.
Mechanical Processing
Size reduction and separation of battery material into recoverable fractions.
Black Mass Production
Production and processing of black mass as concentrated feedstock for downstream refining.
Material Recovery
Separation of valuable material fractions to create pathways back into productive supply chains.
Manufacturing Process
Supporting A More Circular Battery Supply Chain
Recover Critical Resources
Bringing valuable battery materials back into circulation from resources that have already been mined and processed.
Reduce Material Loss
Creating controlled pathways for end-of-life batteries so valuable materials are recovered rather than lost through inappropriate disposal.
Build Regional Recovery Capacity
Developing battery recycling capability closer to the growing regional demand for recovered materials.
Extend Material Life
Keeping valuable materials in productive use for longer by creating pathways from retired batteries back into supply chains.
How we work
The Battery Recycling Journey
End-of-Life Battery → Controlled Intake → Discharge → Dismantling → Mechanical Processing → Black Mass & Material Fractions → Downstream Refining → Return To Use
This pathway connects battery end-of-life management with the recovery of materials required for future technologies.
Retain Material Value
Recovered aluminium is transformed into a defined industrial product rather than being lost from the material cycle.
Reduce Primary Material Demand
Secondary aluminium provides an alternative source of material for manufacturing and casting applications.
Support Circular Supply Chains
Finished ingots connect recovered material directly with downstream industrial demand.
Make Recovery Industrial
The value of recycling is realised when recovered material becomes a reliable product that can replace or complement primary material.
Why Saubhagya
Building The Next Cycle
As electric vehicles, energy storage systems and electronic devices continue to expand, the volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries will grow with them.
Sircle is building the capability to manage these material streams safely and systematically — recovering what can be recovered and creating pathways for valuable materials to move back into productive use.
