Who Are Lincoln Storm
One of the only fully permitted, operational, industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facilities in the UK – Lincoln Storm are a UK based company, privately owned with our senior leadership team having decades of experience in the Li-Ion battery technology sector with materials, processing and recovery.
Where It All Started
During 2017 we set about finding a solution within the front-end recovery space, to facilitate the separation of the raw materials that are utilised to produce Li-Ion cells in order to manufacture EV batteries.
We wanted to be able to supply these recovered materials back to the very manufacturers that needed them, thereby reducing the strain on worldwide virgin material demands.
What We Achieved
By early 2019 We had proven our concepts within lab conditions and during the
summer of 2019 we moved into proving it commercially.
Once we had perfected an adequate throughput, we then perfected the pure
separation, at which point we started to build the 1st installation which became fully
operational in December 2020.
What We Do
Recycling of new production “Dry Wastes” from Li-ion Battery manufacturers.
Large industrial scale process – unique, in-house developed technology
Pre-process for “Wet” materials, cells & modules, conversion to dry materials for dry process
Our Environmental Permit (EPR/KB3002CW) authorises treatment of 20,000 tonnes per annum, with a further 30,000 tonnes per annum of waste transfer capacity.
With these input
materials we, produce ultra pure fractions of
Copper
Aluminium
Black Mass
Graphite
Powder
Cathode
Powder
What We Offer
- Closed loop recovery/recycling for Li Ion battery
materials/supporting manufacturers directly - World beating purchase prices for the production wastes
- Optimum recycling efficiency
- Pure product quality
- We sell back powders to OEM’s / Manufacturers at market
price (or less) – Closed Loop - Originator of material, retains benefit of recyclates and
their values - Largest volume process available now!
Why We Do It
- The EV revolution in Europe is fast developing with the emergence of multiple Giga-factories throughout the region in addition to the 5 large “Players” already situated and in production. Our aqueous shredding process holds formal Environment Agency Best Available Technique (BAT) designation — one of the only such designations in the UK lithium-ion battery recycling sector.
- Since commencing operations in 2022, we have processed several thousand tonnes of lithium-ion batteries at our Worle Quarry facility. Our process recovers materials at over 98% efficiency, returning critical minerals — lithium compounds, cobalt, nickel, copper and aluminium — to the global battery supply chain.
- Export solutions will by then be highly restricted or banned, forcing Europe to look within itself for the solutions, which apart from ours, are very far away from being developed and nowhere near to an industrial scale.
