Demonstrating a Scalable, Cost-Effective, and Safer Alternative to Traditional Hydro Recycling Methods
RENO, Nev., July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS), a pioneer in sustainable critical minerals recovery, today announced it will host an exclusive tour of its Innovation Center and pilot facility as part of NAATBatt’s Eighth Annual Workshop on Lithium Battery Recycling and Lifecycle Management. Scheduled for July 31, 2025, the tour offers workshop participants a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of North America's most advanced lithium battery recycling operations.
Located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, Aqua Metals’ Innovation Center has been operating successfully for over two and a half years. The facility produces battery-grade lithium carbonate, nickel, and cobalt products at commercial pilot scale. The Company believes its output of recycled lithium carbonate is among the highest produced from a true closed-loop battery recycling process in North America.
Workshop attendees will experience firsthand how Aqua Metals’ proprietary AquaRefining™ technology is redefining lithium battery recycling. Unlike traditional hydro-based recycling processes used in Asia, Aqua Metals has developed a novel, capital and cost-efficient solution that delivers superior economics, enhanced worker safety, and exceptional environmental performance, empowering North America to competitively source critical minerals domestically and build a resilient closed-loop ecosystem.
In addition to its economic, sustainability, and safety benefits, Aqua Metals’ clean recycling technology supports the reshoring of critical minerals processing—an industry historically outsourced overseas—fueling American job growth and economic resilience.
Tour Highlights Include:
- A live presentation comparing traditional hydro recycling with AquaRefining™, highlighting significant reductions in waste streams, worker safety risks, and improved economic efficiencies.
- Displays of products produced at the facility, including battery-grade lithium carbonate, cobalt metal, nickel metal and carbonate, mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP), and high-purity NMC cake.
- A guided tour of the pilot plant, which has accumulated over 4,000 hours of operational runtime, with explanations of each major unit operation.
“We are proud to welcome NAATBatt workshop attendees to Aqua Metals and showcase how we’re leading the charge in clean, domestic battery recycling,” said Steve Cotton, President and CEO of Aqua Metals. “As the industry evolves, scalable, safe, and sustainable recycling solutions will be essential for securing the future of energy storage and supply chain resilience in North America. Our Innovation Center proves that future is already here.”
The NAATBatt Annual Workshop—taking place July 29–31, 2025, at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nevada—brings together industry leaders from across the battery value chain to explore the latest innovations in lithium battery reuse, recycling, regulatory frameworks, and market development.
