Nth Cycle is improving the sustainability and profitability of recovery processes for materials such as cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Its innovative electro-extraction technology breaks down cell phones, magnets, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and other everyday goods into their component parts, which can be used to create new products.
Design & Make
Nth Cycle’s technology keeps valuable minerals from end-of-life EV batteries in circulation, producing 92% less carbon emissions than traditional mining and 44% less than current recycling methods.
