Summary
Our vision is to sustainably produce metals for society in the:
- Nordic region;
- United Kingdom and Ireland;
- Italy; and the
- Balkans.
We aim to achieve this vision by recycling lithium batteries - shredding, sorting and refining active battery components into battery grade chemicals
for sale to lithium battery precursor manufacturers.
We aim to become an important part of the European lithium battery supply chain and the circular economy.
1
Rapid Growth
Our focus is rapid growth via partnerships, corporate activity and organic growth within the European lithium battery supply chain.
2
Territories*
Hannans has established tremendous leverage to the rapidly growing European LiB recycling
sector, and specifically countries with the highest penetration rate of electric vehicles.
Hannans' lithium battery recycling focus turns to securing feedstock agreements with companies requiring a recycling solution for scrap and end-of-life lithium batteries in compliance with EU battery regulations.
"We believe the technology we hold sub-licences to will help stakeholders in our licenced jurisdictions meet their circular economy ambitions and legal obligations to recycle. We are now focused on increasing Hannans business development activities and forming long-term mutually beneficial relationships with the European lithium battery supply chain participants." Damian Hicks, Executive Director
