About Us
Founded in 2015, based on a technology out of Professor Wang's group at WPI, Battery Resourcers, is committed to changing the dynamics for processing end of life lithium ion batteries. Currently most lithium ion batteries are landfilled. If they are recycled only the metal value from the batteries is recovered. Battery Resourcers proprietary process allows one to directly synthesize new cathode materials from spent lithium ion cells. Battery Resourcers will be able to deliver low cost cathode materials to the lithium ion battery market enabling green technologies and resulting in less landfilled material a more sustainable pathway forward.
Battery Resourcers is enabling a circular economy
