Our state-of-the-art technology generates value across the lithium-ion battery recycling supply chain and promotes the circular economy of the battery ecosystem.
From battery health monitoring and second-life innovation to the extraction of high-grade black mass and high-quality precursor materials, our proprietary processes reflect our commitment to responsible resource management and environmental stewardship.
Our Purpose
As the world embraces a climate-driven energy transition, the challenge to sustainably manage resources and waste materials in the Clean Energy landscape is critical now more than ever. Inspired by Carl Sagan’s famous call to “Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known”, at Bridge Green Upcycle, we are committed to transforming the end-of-life management of lithium-ion batteries.
Our proprietary technology is driven by a commitment to minimize the environmental impact of battery disposal, conserve critical mineral resources, and reduce reliance on mining for new raw materials.
By redefining battery recycling, we are not only enhancing processes but also actively supporting a cleaner planet and a sustainable future where technological innovation and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
