Bridge Green Upcycle is an urban mining and energy storage company: it recovers critical minerals from used lithium-ion batteries. Its software assesses a battery's remaining useful life to either repurpose them as grid energy storage systems or extract their critical minerals. The approach recovers lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and copper in circulation creating one of the largest domestic sources of these critical materials and reducing dependence on newly mined supply.

Notable Achievements

  • Filed non-provisional patents for low-carbon LFP recycling and AI native battery intelligence tech.
  • Commissioned its 7,200 MTPA center, its first commercial plant validating its modular strategy.
  • Secured commercial offtake agreements with marquee global customers in preparation for expansion.

Currently Operating in Four Regions
