SPARC Evolution
SPARC Evolution develops and scales a proprietary battery materials recovery platform capable of converting diverse lithium-ion battery waste into high-purity battery-grade materials such as lithium hydroxide, precursor cathode active material (pCAM), and high-purity graphite. The venture addresses the critical challenge of inefficient polluting and costly battery recycling processes that yield low-value intermediates and require extensive secondary refining. Pilot-scale trials have demonstrated over 97% recovery of critical metals, as well as a 50% lower CAPEX and 60% lower OPEX compared to conventional methods.
