Battery recycling firm partners with major retailer

A company focused on sustainable battery recycling has signed a 12-month contract with Redditch-based Halfords to recycle waste lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries from e-mobility products.

Recyclus, a subsidiary of Technology Minerals Plc, will collect and process spent batteries at its Wolverhampton LiBatt facility.

The Wolverhampton plant is the UK’s first industrial-scale recycling site for Li-ion batteries and is designed to manage the growing volume of waste generated by electric vehicles and e-mobility devices.

Halfords, a provider of motoring and cycling products and services, operates over 1,750 service locations across the UK.

As the demand for electric transport increases, the partnership supports environmental efforts and the transition to sustainable mobility solutions.

Robin Brundle, chairman of Technology Minerals and Director of Recyclus, said: “We are thrilled to be working with such a blue-chip household name, who share our aim to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable world underpinned by electric transportation solutions. As the latest of multiple agreements of this nature made with elite partners, the deal further evidences the quality of, and demand for, Recyclus’ Li-ion battery recycling solution. We are hugely excited to begin this journey with Halfords and look forward to a bright future together.”
