M2i Global, Inc., a company specializing in the development and execution of a complete global value supply chain for critical minerals, along with Volato Group, Inc., a technology-driven company, announces it has entered into a strategic partnership with Regenerate Technology Global, a provider of advanced technologies and services for the global battery-based energy supply chain, to advance battery recycling technologies to the U.S.
The partnership between M2i Global and Regenerate is aimed at transforming battery technology and the recycling of battery metals. The two companies are looking at locations to construct battery recycling facilities in the U.S. The mission is to bring advanced battery upcycling to the U.S., transforming waste materials into new materials of higher quality and greater environmental value. Accelerating the domestic recycling of battery metals, reducing the cost of battery manufacturing and improving supply chain resiliency and security
Regenerate is at the forefront of sustainable battery recycling, using patented hydrometallurgical processes to extract and refine valuable materials from used batteries. Unlike traditional recycling methods that rely on energy-intensive smelting, its chemistry-driven approach reduces emissions, minimizes waste, and produces high-performance battery materials. The closed-loop material recovery ensures that extracted materials meet or exceed industry standards for new battery production with low-carbon, sustainable processing; 90% waste reduction, 85% lower emissions and 20% cost savings. Regenerateâs advanced battery recycling chemically advances the black mass, produced from the recycling process, to greater meet the needs of the entities purchasing the black mass. The new, advanced black mass, greatly lessens the work and time to bring the materials to the needed grade for newly recycled batteries.
Regenerate operates through a strategic network of facilities and partnerships across Europe with scalable and globally deployable technology. Already operational in Europe and expanding to North America and Asia, with an approach focused on regional efficiency, local job creation, and integration into existing supply chains.
David Batstone, CEO and Co-founder of Regenerate Technology Global, stated, âWe are thrilled to partner with M2i. Together, we are setting new standards for recycling and designs for next-generation mobile and storage batteries, while prioritizing ethical sourcing and renewable energy sustainability. Our cooperation means a stronger U.S. energy infrastructure bolstered by technological innovation.â
Major General (Ret) Alberto Rosende, Chief Executive Officer of M2i, stated, âRegenerate has demonstrated its proprietary processes and value-add in lead-acid battery recycling, lithium-ion battery recycling and alkaline battery recycling at its operations in Europe. We are excited to partner with Regenerate to bring battery recycling to the U.S. We are currently working with several states and identifying potential sites.â
