Public Profile

Li Industries is an early-stage cleantech company structured around developing the next generation of lithium-ion battery recycling technologies that will enable automation, competitiveness and sustainability. Principals of the firm are organzied around working with lithium-ion battery manufacturers, cathode producers, battery recyclers, battery collectors, and other players inthe arena with the objective being that of building advanced technologies designed to enable those with whom we work to find greater efficiencies in their supply chains. The vision/objective is to enable a "circular economy "where efficient recycling processes become standard operating procedure. Current recycling processes have a range of negative environmental ramifications, unattractive economics, labor safety problems. In short, the industry today achieves a very low rate of recycling. The Li Industries' committment is to accelerate a path to truly scalable and automated direct battery recycling, a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective recycling option. To that end, principals of the firm work with lithium-ion battery manufacturers, cathode producers, battery recyclers, battery collectors, and others to provide greater efficiencies and better economics in the critical materials supply chains for lithium-ion batteries: dedicated to tackling the challenges of recycling to achieve creation of a truly circular economy where efficient and effective recycling processes are the norm
