Lithium Battery Recycling Solutions is a division under the SUEZ/Cawleys Group of companies dedicated to the collection and recycling of Lithium batteries, especially from mobility sources.
Cawleys became a holder of an Approved Battery Exporter licence (ABE) in 2017 enabling them to have an approved waste facility under The Battery Directive 2006. In 2021 we became an Authorised Battery Treatment Operator ABTO which enabled us to further treat the batteries and pave the way for our next phase in developing a way to mechanically treat LiBs and separate the components for recycling to reduce export reliance.
Located in Luton, Bedfordshire, our pioneering treatment facility can effectively take waste lithium-ion batteries and mechanically separate them into a mixed recyclate flake that can be separated safely into individual waste streams. This ensures a high recycling rate as we can recover all of the battery solids that include anode copper, aluminium, case metals, plastic separator and black mass.
We can recover waste energy from the batteries at the discharge stage and this is harvested and used to power the equipment and external electric vehicle charge points.
We have established routes for both End of Life materials recovery and progressively set up a partnership with a power supply manufacturing company which can repurpose certain Libs for 2nd Life use.
We have a broad experience with lithium batteries and have leading knowledge in how to deal with them from the collection stage to processing, in the best of conditions or the worst. We have helped our customer base manage difficult damaged defective batteries and can give advice and Risk mitigation services when dealing with critical ones.
Our focus is on batteries from E-mobilisation which includes all road marine and aerospace and we can handle the very biggest battery packs 2 individual cells. We have a Collection capability that covers the whole of the UK and Trans European logistics.
Today we have all licences and permissions in place to collect, treat and recycle LiBs with one of the UK’s first Mechanical Shredding lines which separates the materials inside a LiB for refining into new raw materials. Our future focus is dedicated to the development of a new value chain market for LiB materials to keep costs controlled and offer a truly circular economy solution with the opportunity to make new batteries from old materials.
