Why lithium-metal requires a different approach
Lithium-metal batteries present fundamentally different end-of-life risks than lithium-ion chemistries. Reactive metallic lithium can introduce elevated fire, explosion, and handling hazards that conventional recycling infrastructure is not designed to manage safely.
As these batteries proliferate across industrial, defense, and remote applications, the need for purpose-built neutralization pathways has become critical.
A Safety-First Neutralization Platform
Evolve’s lithium-metal neutralization programs are designed around controlled, oxygen-free processing under vacuum, prioritizing containment, process control, and validation-first deployment to reduce inherent risks associated with reactive batteries.
This Solution Is:
- Purpose-built for lithium-metal batteries
- Designed for safety-critical applications
- Suitable for pilot, validation, and commercial campaigns
- Downstream lithium-salts recovery pathways
This Solution Is Not:
- Conventional lithium-ion recycling
- High-temperature or open-air processing
- A one-size-fits-all battery solution

Start With an Acceptance Review
Acceptance depends on chemistry, format, condition, packaging, volumes, and program requirements.
We typically assess: cells vs packs, intact vs DDR, mixed streams, volume/location, packaging constraints.
How Lithium-Metal Neutralization Programs Work
1.
Send feed stock profile
(chemistry, format, condition, volume, location)
2.
Acceptance review + logistics guidance
3.
Controlled neutralization program
(chain-of-custody/reporting)
4.
Documentation + disposition support
5.
Scale program/ capacity as volumes grow
Part of a Modular, Scalable Platform
Lithium-metal neutralization is delivered through Evolve’s modular, vacuum-based platform, enabling disciplined scale-up as volumes, regulations, and customer requirements evolve.
