Powering Africa's Sustainable Future.

In the last few decades, over 250,000 metric tons of electronic waste have been shipped to Africa each year, including mobile phones and laptops. With over 650 million smartphones currently in use on the continent, they are constantly being exchanged for newer and more advanced devices. But what happens to the old devices? The answer matters more than you think.

Our Sustainable Recycling Alchemy

Relithia’s innovative recycling process seamlessly integrates mechanical and pyrometallurgical techniques. We utilize low-temperature pyrolysis at 343.15 K, which efficiently decomposes the electrolyte and significantly reduces CO2 emissions. Our state-of-the-art mechanical process achieves an exceptional 96% recovery rate of lithium cobalt oxide, alongside other critical materials such as Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, Aluminum  and Copper. Our eco-friendly process establishes a new standard for sustainable battery recycling by enhancing resource efficiency and minimizing waste, leading to significant environmental benefits.

Our Process ➔

▶ 96%+ Recovery

Resource Recovery Prowess

Relithia's proprietary Cathodic Extraction Process achieves an unparalleled recovery rate, extracting over 96% of valuable materials from lithium-ion batteries, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper. This efficient methodology maximizes resource utilization while minimizing waste, ensuring sustainable and responsible battery recycling.

▶ Efficiency

Optimized Material Processing

Our process integrates mechanical shredding, controlled pyrolysis, and advanced separation technologies like dense medium separation and magnetic separation to efficiently segregate non-ferrous metals and rare metals. This method ensures minimal energy usage and maximizes material recovery, setting us apart from traditional recycling methods.

▶ High-Purity

High-Purity Material Recovery

The purified lithium cobalt powder and other valuable materials are processed through a series of grinding, sintering, and coiling machines. This ensures they meet the stringent physical and chemical properties required for manufacturing high-quality prismatic lithium-ion batteries, thereby supporting a circular economy.
