M-BAT: battery materials recovered from Europe's own waste, on European soil.
Europe wants batteries but keeps refusing the mines behind them.
The materials are already here, in waste rock, sludges, brines and black mass.
M-BAT turns what Europe already extracted back into supply, at home.
A continent that builds batteries but imports the matter inside them.
Recovers graphite and metals from the black mass of end-of-life batteries, returning them to cell production.
Produces battery-grade cobalt and nickel sulphates from metallurgical sludges that would otherwise be discarded.
Extracts cobalt sulphate from sulphide mine tailings, treating the waste of past mining as a deposit.
Yields lithium carbonate from geothermal brines, pairing energy and raw-material recovery in one stream.
Close the loop where the material already exists.
M-BAT treats waste as a deposit. Every process is built to reach demonstration scale within the project and feed Europe's own targets for strategic raw materials.
Recovery in the open.
The hardest part of supplying critical materials is not chemistry; it is trust. M-BAT works at real sites, with the communities those sites belong to, treating the social licence to operate as something earned rather than assumed.
Every pilot is documented and every claim is measured. The project speaks plainly about what recovery can and cannot do, and brings the conversation to the ground where it matters.
European rigour
Validated, demonstrated and reported, with no shortcuts between lab and ground.
Real circularity
Material recovered from waste that already exists, rather than from a new pit.
Soil & origin
Recovery happens where the waste is, next to the people it affects.
