Back2Basics Elements is an independent manufacturer of advanced battery materials using valuable elements reclaimed from spent lithium-ion batteries. Our patented Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis process transforms today’s waste into high-value materials for tomorrow’s EV batteries—a giant step up in sustainability for the entire industry.
We help EV battery manufacturers and end users maximize value. Beyond producing commodity metals, we use advanced particle engineering techniques to transform used Li-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap into highly engineered precursor (pCAM) and cathode active materials (CAM) that meet client specifications.
Our full-service logistics, materials-tracking and customer support services simplify the pursuit of greater sustainability and higher value.
When it comes to meeting the needs of lithium-ion supply chains, Back2Basics Elements aims higher. We go beyond just recycling, instead upcycling discarded batteries into premium cathode active materials—all at a lower cost and carbon footprint. Our unique Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis process unlocks hidden value to return critical materials back to lithium battery manufacturers.
