At Waste King, we specialise in the eco-friendly recycling of lithium-ion batteries, commonly found in mobile phones, laptops, and other portable electronics. Our advanced recycling process involves several key steps to ensure the safe and efficient recovery of valuable materials:
- Deactivation and Disassembly: Each battery is carefully deactivated to eliminate any risk of short circuits or reactions, followed by a meticulous disassembly to prepare it for further processing.
- Mechanical Processing: The batteries undergo a specialised mechanical process in which they are crushed and sorted. This step facilitates the extraction of electrolytes, a crucial phase for the recovery of various materials.
- Material Recovery: After the mechanical processing, we employ sophisticated techniques to separate and extract the metals and minerals contained within the batteries. This includes the recovery of valuable resources like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are then repurposed to manufacture new electronics or responsibly disposed of if not reusable.
At Waste King, we’re committed to advancing sustainable practices and contributing to a circular economy by ensuring that the precious materials in lithium-ion batteries are reclaimed and reused, minimising environmental impact and reducing the need for virgin materials.
