Envirostream makes strides in battery recycling space

The quarter saw Envirostream attending the Asia International Li-ion Battery Recycling Summit in South Korea. During the event, the company engaged with current partners and held discussions with new customers. As a result, the period witnessed a shipment of mixed metal dust (MMD) to a new trading company, resulting in the customer base diversification and economic return improvements for this product.
VSPC moves closer to LFP commercialisation
VSPC reported the completion of an engineering study for its planned LFP PQPP. The company aims to commercialise a 10,000-tpa LFP manufacturing facility. The company highlights that the study will aid in determining the optimal commercialisation pathway and engaging with potential offtake and joint development partners.
Also, the quarter saw improvements to lithium manganese ferro phosphate (LMFP) cathode powder for use in lithium-ion batteries.
VSPC highlights that it received multiple requests for LMFP samples, resulting in the further development of LMFP cathode powder.

The company reported evaluation of potential LieNA® commercial partners during the quarter.
In essence, the latest quarter developments indicate that Lithium Australia is going strong in the battery technology space. The ASX-listed company remains committed to developments ensuring an ethical and sustainable future for the global battery industry.
