Closing the Year with Major Progress in Sustainable Battery Recycling
As 2024 comes to a close, Aqua Metals is proud to share our recent achievements in advancing the future of sustainable lithium battery recycling.
Aqua Metals: Creating a Safe, Sustainable Energy Future
Aqua Metals is the only company to have demonstrated a commercially proven, sustainable, closed-loop metals recycling process capable of producing some of the world’s highest-purity battery materials.
Our Innovation Center is advancing low-carbon metals recycling technologies designed to reduce environmental impact, deliver competitive economics, and improve worker safety.
Together, these efforts position Aqua Metals as a leader in clean metals recycling and a driving force behind the next generation of battery materials refining.
Lithium Ion: Powering the New Energy Era
Aqua Metals applies its water-based AquaRefining™ technology to lithium-ion batteries and battery materials – advancing a low-carbon recycling and refining approach designed to support commercial-scale operations.
The process is engineered to produce high-purity battery metals with competitive operating economics, while avoiding the furnaces, high temperatures, and emissions associated with conventional smelting and refining.

Is EV Battery Recycling Ready For Prime Time?
EV PULSE – From smartphones to EVs to backup power, lithium-ion batteries run much of our modern world. But we’ve got a big problem on our hands when these energy reservoirs wear out, especially in a future where electric vehicles are the norm. Today we’re talking to experts to explore the current state of electric car battery recycling. We’ll learn how it’s done and why it’s so important, and we’ll learn all recycling isn’t necessarily good for the environment.
Aqua Metals joins $4.99M DOE grant project
RECYCLING TODAY – Aqua Metals Inc., a Reno, Nevada-based lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycler will collaborate in a $4.99 million U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant project as part of a consortium led by Penn State University.
