These innovations primarily yield lithium, nickel, cobalt, and vanadium while ensuring cost-efficiency and a minimized carbon footprint. The company, along with its partners, has been internationally acclaimed for sustainable methods that emphasize circular economic principles, thus diminishing dependence on traditional mining-based supply chains. Their three key business units are introducing these novel technologies through joint ventures: firstly, their Lithium-ion Battery (\"LIB\") Recycling under Primobius GmbH (with Neometals holding 50% equity) collaborates with Mercedes-Benz and aims to provide recycling services, plant supply, or technology licensing. Secondly, their Vanadium Recovery technology aspires to extract high-grade vanadium pentoxide from steel-making by-products, with ventures in Finland and potential operations in Sweden. Lastly, their Lithium Chemicals initiative, co-owned by Mineral Resources Ltd, seeks to manufacture top-quality lithium hydroxide from varied sources, with pilot ventures set for 2023 and a prospective commercial collaboration in Portugal by 2024.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
