We are pleased to announce that Recyclus Group has entered into a black mass offtake agreement with Glencore plc, one of the world’s leading globally diversified natural resource companies. Through this agreement, we will supply our black mass—produced at our industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Wolverhampton—to Glencore’s extensive European network and operations. The partnership begins with a 100-tonne trial, after which commercial terms will be revisited. This agreement is a key milestone in our strategy to collaborate with multiple geographical partners, demonstrating our global reach and growing reputation in the specialised field of lithium-ion battery recycling. By partnering with Glencore, we gain access to additional markets, further reinforcing our internationally focused approach as we continue to expand our black mass inventory and capabilities. Robin Brundle, Co-Founder and Director of Recyclus, said: “This marks another key milestone in our mission to return the critical minerals needed to power a sustainable transition to the battery supply chain. The deal is a strong endorsement for our battery recycling processes and demonstrates the demand for black mass. Commercial traction for our recycling solutions continues to increase, and the agreement further underscores our potential to build international trading partners as the world shifts to electrification.”

"The paper makes three intricately related contributions to the ongoing policy and research conversations on the mineral supply chain sustainability demands of a global EV future. First, it shows that, although profoundly important, a timely positive-sum EV transition will require more than reducing the mineral requirements, which is a key focus of most policy and research approaches to addressing the extraction-related harms of the transition. Second, it raises the need for careful sustained monitoring and scrutiny of the potential effectiveness of the new regulatory and other initiatives being introduced by states and multi-lateral organizations, firms and standard setting bodies to support ethical, equitable and sustainable acquisition of minerals to decarbonize the transport sector. This is necessary for reducing the risks of the initiatives replicating existing patterns of abuse, deepening the longstanding vulnerabilities and systemic deficiencies they are supposed to address as well as bogging down decarbonization efforts in legitimate environmental and human rights disputes [5]. Third, the paper offers directions for future EV transition and mineral supply chain sustainability research and policy, outlining some critical areas that can benefit from further learning and knowledge building as well as policy attention. Therefore, in terms of overall original contributions to the emerging energy social science research and policy on the mineral supply chain sustainability demands of the EV transition, this Perspective highlights the limitations of the dominant mineral demand-reduction approach, analyzes the potential patterns of change and continuity in the move towards addressing systemic deficiencies, and systematically develops future policy and research directions for overcoming problematic patterns."

Thank you to Beatrice Browning and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence for featuring ReElement in their Q4 2024 analysis on modular recycling capacity. Modular recycling and refining offers several key advantages, particularly its ability to adjust processing parameters in near-real time based on market conditions, data, and forecasts. This flexibility provides a significant advantage over traditional recycling methods, enabling more efficient, scalable, and adaptable operations. We are pleased to be included in this important industry analysis.

Deloitte and Circulor co-authored a blog last year, shedding light on the pivotal role of supply chain traceability in unlocking the vast opportunities presented by the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) for Europe. To meet the regulations benchmarks on mining, processing, and recycling – and secure Europe's clean energy economy - organizations need to know the provenance and flow of materials across their supply chains. With increased traceability, comes more visibility and the opportunity to ensure high environmental standards are upheld while increasing the EU’s access to critical and strategic raw materials.
