Different Battery Chemistries Require Different Solutions
Lithium-metal and lithium-ion are not interchangeable at end-of-life. Chemistry determines risk, handling requirements, and viable processing approaches.
Evolve provides fit-for-purpose solutions based on chemistry, condition, and program needs.
Our Solution
Choose Your Pathway
Both solution pathways are delivered through Evolve’s VCV (Vacuum Crushing Vaporization) platform, designed for validation-first deployment and disciplined scale-up.
This approach enables Evolve to safely address different battery chemistries while maintaining consistent operational control, regulatory alignment, and scalability.
Lithium-Metal Battery Neutralization
Controlled neutralization programs for hazardous primary lithium batteries, including lithium-metal cells and packs (subject to acceptance review).
- Designed for safety-critical programs
- DDR/high-risk acceptance review
- Chain-of-custody documentation support
Lithium-Ion Pre-Processing & Black Mass
Upstream processing to generate consistent black mass for downstream refining and offtake partners.
- Controlled pre-processing + electrolyte management
- Spec-driven outputs for downstream integration
- Commercial terms vary by chemistry, condition, and program structure
Send a feedstock profile and we’ll confirm the appropriate pathway, acceptance criteria, and packaging/logistics guidance based on chemistry, condition, and volumes.
