Resource Recovery Solutions
We’re here to change the way the world thinks about waste by creating resource recovery solutions that are good for business, good for society and good for the environment. We provide services to the battery power-cell market that recover valuable resources from waste streams and repurpose them for reuse in the creation of new products. We orient our services around three interdependent practices that provide sustainable closed-loop, circular-economy solutions for our customers.

Recover
Recovering valuable resources that create value from end-of-life products that would otherwise be lost to disposal.

Reuse
Providing services that upgrade resources recovered from waste streams and repurpose them for reuse in the creation of new products.

Reduce
Helping reduce the amount of waste that requires disposal and lost value from end-of-life products.


Environmental, Health & Safety Excellence
Protecting the environment, as well as the health and safety of our people, contractors, customers and local communities, is integral to everything we do. We continually reinvest capital to upgrade and enhance our operations, ensuring we meet and often exceed the highest environmental and health and safety regulatory standards in our industry.
As a resource recovery solutions leader focused on Changing Waste for Good, sustainability is embedded in every aspect of our business. Our goal is to recover and create value for every component of every end-of-life product we manage. This not only helps protect the natural environment by reducing or eliminating waste for disposal, it also conserves finite natural resources required to produce new products that will fuel the transition to a low-carbon future.
