Ascend Elements manufactures advanced battery materials using valuable elements reclaimed from spent lithium-ion batteries. The patented Hydro-to-Cathode™ process transforms today’s waste into high-value materials for tomorrow’s EV batteries — a giant step up in sustainability for the entire industry. The Hydro-to-Cathode, closed-loop technology transforms a mixed input of discarded batteries and manufacturing scrap into active cathode battery material – raising the value of critical elements like lithium, cobalt, and nickel – while driving down cost and carbon emissions.

When it comes to meeting the needs of lithium-ion supply chains, Ascend Elements goes beyond just recycling, instead upcycling discarded batteries into premium cathode active materials - all at a lower cost and carbon footprint. Their unique recovery and purification process unlocks hidden value to return critical materials back to lithium battery manufacturers.

Ascend Elements help EV battery manufacturers and end users maximize value with on-site processing that “upcycles” spent batteries and manufacturing scrap into critical battery materials. Their full-service logistics, materials-tracking and customer support services simplify the pursuit of greater sustainability and higher value.
