Out this week, Recycling Today Magazine’s Chris Voloschuk featured American Battery Technology Company and our CEO Ryan Melsert in its latest cover story, highlighting our integrated approach to battery recycling and critical mineral manufacturing.
“I think [what stands out] is the fact that we tend to do so much in-house,” Melsert says. “It’s rare. We have our own R&D team, our own engineering and construction operations. The fact that we don’t rely on licensed technology or outside contractors to come and build a portion of our plant for us [is unique]. We really do just have that mentality of wanting to own our future and design, construct and operate in-house. I think the most exciting this is, while being disciplined, how quickly we’ve scaled.”
The article explores how we are leveraging our in-house R&D, engineering, and construction teams to scale internally-developed technologies for domestically sourced battery metals, ensuring the U.S. builds a circular supply chain for these materials. From our 120,000-square-foot lithium-ion battery recycling facility at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center to our laboratories housed at the University of Nevada, Reno to our Tonopah-based lithium extraction operations, we are committed to reshaping the domestic battery industry with innovative, sustainable solutions.
Article Notables:
- Scaling Up Battery Recycling: Our battery recycling facility at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center is scaled to process 20,000 metric tons of feedstock annually, recovering critical battery-grade materials.
- Pioneering Lithium Extraction: ABTC’s proprietary process extracts lithium from Nevada-based sedimentary claystone, converting it into battery-grade lithium hydroxide – a crucial step toward U.S. independence in battery production.
- End-to-End Expertise: Unlike many in the industry, we develop, construct, and operate our facilities entirely in-house, from bench-scale R&D to full-scale. operations, positioning ABTC as a leader in the evolving domestic supply chain.
- Strategic Growth: With nearly $300 million in Department of Energy funding, we’re expanding operations, including plans for a new large-scale recycling facility in the southeastern U.S.
