Richard co-founded True 2 Materials (T2M) to bring nanoscale materials knowhow to bear on large scale global problems. T2M has developed a completely new way to recycle EV batteries called Total Material Recovery™ (TMR). Unlike other methods of recycling, TMR produces no polluting sulphides or sulphates, directly recovering all of the metals as higher value oxides instead. T2M has also solved the graphite and electrolyte recycling problem. All three, the metal oxides, graphite, and electrolytes, are able to be returned for use in a new EV battery cell.

Total Value of Materials Recovered - Total Cost of Recovery = the only metric that matters.

You are causing unnecessary environmental damage and wasting valuable resources if you are using traditional hydro or pyromet recycling processes. Quite literally, you are burning resources and capital.
