Li Industries

About

Li Industries is a critical battery materials company based in Pineville, North Carolina, founded in 2017. The company focuses on sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling and materials production technologies to promote a circular economy. It has developed patented direct recycling processes that efficiently convert all types of lithium-ion batteries, including those from electric vehicles and consumer electronics, into high-purity, commercial-grade materials. The company's proprietary Direct Electrode-to-Electrode (Direct E2E™) technology automates the identification, separation, sorting, and regeneration of battery materials. This innovative approach aims to reduce production costs for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active materials by 23% compared to traditional methods. Li Industries is also constructing a facility capable of recycling and manufacturing 10,000 tonnes of LFP CAM annually, supporting domestic supply chains for lithium-ion batteries. The company collaborates with various partners, including General Motors, to advance its recycling technology and operations.
