BMW Group Australia has joined forces with leading Australian battery recycler EcoBatt to launch a new national recycling program aimed at recovering and reusing critical materials from high-voltage electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

The initiative forms part of BMW's global push toward a 'circular economy' by reducing waste and ensuring that valuable minerals from high-voltage lithium-ion batteries – including lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and graphite – are extracted and returned to the production supply chain.

The recycling process generates 'black mass', which is then supplied to downstream refiners, which recover the minerals and elements and return them to manufacturing supply chains to produce new batteries.
