As specialists in battery waste, we benefit from an ADR qualified logistics team. Your waste will be safely disposed of and recycled where possible, with digital hazardous waste consignment notes available.
We are committed to driving sustainability through increased recycling and material recovery. Where recycling isn't possible, we prioritise responsible reprocessing methods and waste-to-energy solutions.
We provide a dedicated point of contact and a dependable service. We can collect multiple waste types in a single collection, helping to deliver both cost and environmental savings.
Yes! Electric car batteries can be recycled with the help of our specialist team. We collect these lithium-ion batteries nationwide, transporting them to licensed recycling centres.
We also collect a range of other automotive waste types. This includes tyres, lead-acid batteries from petrol or diesel cars, and bumpers.
Our EV battery recycling service provides an environmentally friendly solution for managing end-of-life batteries. This ensures that valuable recycled materials are recovered and manufactured into new products.
Contact our team to provide the quantity of EV batteries you would like to recycle. We can then analyse your needs and provide a no-obligation quote.
Large volumes of lithium-ion batteries must be packaged safely. This includes wrapping batteries individually and securing them with tape to be stored in a plastic drum of vermiculite.
Once the quote is accepted, our team can arrange a collection day. Once collected, our ADR-drivers will transport the hazardous waste to licensed recycling facilities. Here, they are not only safely disposed of but also recycled into new products.
We understand that every business is unique, which is why we offer tailored recycling solutions. Our EV battery disposal service is ideal for a wide array of sectors, including:
Whether you are an EV manufacturer, battery manufacturer, dealership, or maintenance service, we help responsibly recycle EV batteries.
Companies that produce or handle electronic goods utilising lithium-ion technology can benefit from our specialised recycling processes, ensuring materials are recovered and reused.
For businesses operating EV fleets, our recycling services help manage battery end-of-life responsibly, maintaining your green credentials and supporting your sustainability objectives.
We support public institutions in managing EV battery waste, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting community sustainability.
You can access all of our duty of care documentation by using the button below. This includes waste exemptions, insurances and waste carriers license.

Recycling EV batteries is essential to minimising impact on the planet. Electric vehicle batteries are manufactured using three main metals: Lithium, cobalt and nickel. Producing one tonne of lithium (enough for ~100 car batteries) requires approximately 2 million tonnes of water.
By using recycling technologies, we can safely recover these resources, reducing the need for energy intensive mining activities.
Recycling EV batteries significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to producing new batteries from raw materials. Recovering metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper reduces the need for energy-intensive mining and refining, helping cut carbon emissions across the battery supply chain.
Electric car batteries contain finite, high-value materials that require extensive mining to obtain. Recycling allows these materials to be recovered and reused, reducing pressure on natural resources and helping secure a more sustainable supply of critical raw materials for future battery production.
End-of-life EV batteries can pose safety and environmental risks if not handled correctly. Recycling ensures hazardous components are treated at licensed facilities, preventing soil and water contamination while reducing the risk of fires, leaks, or improper disposal.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES
Recycling car batteries is essential for sustainable resource use and reducing environmental impact. We can collect your EV battery waste in bulk loads, ensuring businesses are following UK government guidelines.
We can also collect lithium batteries from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels. Our recycling capacity covers a vast range of battery types, enabling businesses to dispose of waste safely.
On average, electric car batteries last between 8 – 12 years. This depends on various factors, including maintenance, environmental conditions and usage.
Dead electric car batteries can be collected in large volumes with the help of our team. The batteries will then be transported to licensed facilities for recycling and repurposing into new products.
These batteries are typically lithium-ion, the same basic technology used in many consumer electronics, but scaled up for automotive use.
The battery pack in an EV consists of many smaller cells grouped into modules. These cells contain a cathode (positive electrode), an anode (negative electrode), and an electrolyte that allows ions to move between the electrodes. When the EV is being driven, lithium ions move from the anode through the electrolyte to the cathode, releasing electrons that flow through an external circuit and power the electric motor.
Batteries are tested to assess their remaining capacity. Some may be suitable for “second-life” applications, such as energy storage systems, while others proceed to recycling. The battery pack is manually disassembled to separate the battery cells from the module casing and other components.
Cells and modules are then shredded to break down the solid structure into smaller pieces, allowing for the separation of materials. Metals can then be recovered and used to manufacture new batteries.
