25 November 2024: With National Recycling Week recently highlighting the need for all Australians to "Join the Cycle", the Association for the Battery Recycling Industry (ABRI) has welcomed the range of university research into best-practice lithium battery recycling.
6 November 2024: Editorial published in the Australian Information Industry Association Connector Digital Magazine (November 2024) focusing on battery recycling policy and mandatory producer responsibility ahead of the December Environment Ministers meeting.
21 August 2024: The key message from the 2024 Battery Recycling & Manufacturing Summit and followed up at the Queensland Renewables Recycling Summit – the sector has the foundations, drawing on Australian innovations and know-how, to be a leader, in clean energy technology and support the low carbon energy transition underway. However, urgent action is required to develop scale.
14 August 2024: Key players in the battery recycling and manufacturing sector will meet in Sydney on Thursday 15 August to team up on actions to accelerate opportunities in the fast-growing sector, improve safety and deliver an industry-wide circular economy.
As a national, Government-backed Scheme, B-cycle brings together everyone from importers, to retailers, to everyday Australians, to give dead batteries new life.
90% of Australia''s used batteries end up in landfill, where they leak toxic materials into the environment. B-cycle is here to make a change, by keeping batteries (and their contents) out of our soils and waterways.
Reusing the precious materials in every battery also means that we mine less from the earth, and can conserve nature and its resources. B-cycling creates economic opportunities for recyclers, and strengthens Australia''s energy security for future generations.
B-cycle is supported by the Commonwealth and all State and Territory Governments, is authorised by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), accredited by the Australian Government, and has received financial support from the Australian Government and industry.
Our Australian lithium battery recycling company specializes in responsibly handling end-of-life batteries. We employ cutting-edge technologies to recover valuable materials while minimizing environmental impact. Committed to sustainability, we contribute to a circular economy by diverting batteries from landfills and promoting resource conservation for a greener future.
Envirostream safely discharges, dismantles, shreds and recovers materials through a highly controlled process. Batteries are shred, washed and screened to allow recovery of the valuable materials within them. This way batteries are diverted from landfill and no harm is done to the environment.
Join us in our mission to divert batteries from landfills. Download our brochure to learn how we’re recycling responsibly and preserving the environment. Together, let''s energise a better world.
Envirostream has partners across all aspects of the recycling chain – from secure feedstocks and offtakes through to industry associations and government departments. As such we are able to provide assistance in all areas.
Envirostream''s battery recycling technology, which is based on international best practice, uses a combination of mechanical and hydraulic separation techniques to recover around 95% of the materials that make up a battery. Importantly, no incineration is involved. To find out more, contact us or refer to our section on processing.
Envirostream offers a complete origin-to-end battery processing system that can include custom online booking forms, transportation and reporting. We can design a collection model that meet the needs of your organisation, contact our helpful team today to discuss your organisation’s needs.
Envirostream recycles all chemistries of spent batteries, including alkaline, Li-ion, nickel metal hydride, lead acid and nickel cadmium. Envirostream also accepts battery embedded devices including mobile phones and e-cigarettes/vapes.

Lithium-ion batteries are in everything from laptops and mobile phones to electric vehicles and large-scale battery storage plants. And the global demand is growing. But what happens to lithium-ion batteries when they die? It''s an important question for Australia: the world''s largest producer of lithium.
A new report — Australian Landscape for Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling and Reuse in 2020[Link will open in a new window] — provides the most up-to-date status of lithium-ion battery recycling in Australia. Informed by CSIRO research and stakeholder surveys, it discusses battery markets and recycling technology, before identifying 18 opportunities for the industry.
Lithium-ion batteries are a relatively new technology: they were commercialised in the 1990s. Compare this to lead acid batteries (found in most vehicles), which were invented in 1859. And while Australia recycles 98 per cent per cent of lead acid batteries, only 10 per cent of our lithium-ion battery waste is recycled, according to an earlier report done in 2018 by CSIRO.
"The demand for lithium-ion batteries is increasing globally, fuelled by the increasing electrification of transport and the renewable energy generation storage sector," says report lead author Dr Anand Bhatt.
The global electric vehicle market alone grew at 40-70 per cent each year since 2011, with more than 2.1 million new electric cars sold in 2019. And there has been a parallel increase in the renewables energy generation storage sector. The most famous example is the Telsa big battery in South Australia, also known as the Hornsdale Power Reserve. Lithium-ion batteries will take over lead acid batteries to be the dominant battery type.
