An Inside Look: Over 100 Industry Leaders Tour Our Innovation Center as Part of NAATBatt’s Recycling Workshop

On July 31st, we had the privilege of hosting more than 100 industry professionals at our Innovation Center and Demonstration Plant during the NAATBatt International workshop. Representatives spanned the entire battery ecosystem—from vehicle OEMs and battery manufacturers to materials suppliers and strategic partners.

A Day of Discovery

Our guests toured the plant floor, witnessed a live demonstration of our clean AquaRefining process, and joined in-depth conversations about energy transition, sustainability, and building a resilient U.S. critical‑materials supply chain. The morning’s excitement carried into insightful Q&A sessions with our R&D and leadership teams.
