Tatton Consulting supported Plymouth-based EV battery recycling company Altilium in its successful application to UK – Singapore Collaborative R&D Call Sustainability and Net Zero, awarded £744,820 by Innovate UK for the project Advancing sustainability in EV battery recycling.
About the funded R&D project
China refines 60-70% of the lithium and cobalt used in batteries, a concentration that presents a security-of-supply risk to both the UK and Singapore. This bilateral project pairs UK and Singaporean capability on sustainable EV battery recycling, addressing a dependency neither country can resolve alone.
