Aqua Metals is pioneering sustainable lithium battery and clean metals recycling, creating a low-carbon, circular supply chain for critical minerals. We believe that the key to sustainable energy lies in leveraging the full potential of recycled materials in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, building a circular supply chain domestically, and minimizing the environmental impact of the clean energy industry.



Aqua Metals has developed AquaRefining™, a cleaner metals recycling process that can deliver high-value raw materials back into the battery manufacturing supply chain while reducing emissions and waste streams and creating a safer work environment. AquaRefining replaces chemical catalysts with clean electricity, dramatically lowering emissions and reducing waste streams typical in recycling by as much as 95%.



We are the only company that has developed a commercially-proven, sustainable, closed-loop metals recycling process. Aqua Metals is applying its clean, water-based recycling technology principles to build the most cost-efficient recycling solution for lithium-ion batteries that will power the new energy era. Our technology produces higher-quality products at a lower operating cost without the damaging effects of furnaces, chemical waste streams, and greenhouse emissions.
