Tecum Capital’s Post

In a recent profile interview with letsrecycle.com, RiverRidge CEO Brett Ross discusses some of the changes the company has seen since its acquisition in 2023 by Cube and Equitix Investment Management. Brett discusses how the acquisition has enabled RiverRidge to facilitate a more ambitious expansion of their innovative technologies and empowered them to develop a more clearly defined company roadmap. He likewise underlines the ongoing significant impact of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) on the waste sector, notably by investing in anaerobic digestion and transitioning its vehicle fleet to greener alternatives. In addition, RiverRidge has recently released its inaugural #ESG report, building upon its strategy of diminishing the carbon cost of waste treatment and diverting materials from landfills. Finally, the company has been collaborating with Northern Regional College and the Responsible Plastic Management Program, underscoring their commitment to fostering talent and innovation within the waste sector. We applaud RiverRidge's success following the acquisition and look forward to seeing the company grow and scale its business further. https://lnkd.in/eafq4ZYN... #capabilitymeetscapital

Altilium celebrates four years: pioneering the future of EV battery recycling in the UK Four years ago, Altilium’s co-founders envisioned a future where the critical minerals essential for the energy transition would be sourced from recycling existing waste streams, minimising the need for mining and preserving our natural resources. Specifically, EV batteries present a unique opportunity, as they can be efficiently and endlessly recycled, paving the way for a truly circular economy. Today, as the company celebrates the last four years, we reflect on our journey with pride and look forward to the next phase of our growth: Phase 1: Seed Stage – Incubating a Circular Economy Net Zero Champion We laid the foundations to lead in sustainability, establishing a vision and mission focused on creating domestic, sustainable battery raw materials to support the UK’s net-zero goals and energy security. Phase 2: Series A – Green Technology and Sustainable Innovation Following a $12m investment by SQM Lithium Ventures, we developed our EcoCathode™ green processing technologies that will revolutionise battery production and recycling, setting new benchmarks for sustainability in the UK. Phase 3: Today – Speed and Scale to Dominate the UK Market Now, we are scaling rapidly, aiming to be the first to market and the largest player in the UK's battery recycling industry. Our focus is on “full battery circularity”, from end-of-life battery collection and production of black mass through to chemical refining to battery-ready p-CAM and CAM. Thank you to our growing team of employees and everyone who has supported Altilium over the last four years. Without your hard work and support, we wouldn't be where we are today. Here’s to the next four years and beyond!

Queensland recycling grants aim to boost recycling The Queensland government has announced a $45 million package aimed at facilitating large scale, high recovery waste recycling projects, part of the state’s $2.1 billion waste and resource recovery package. State Development Minister Grace Grace visited BMI Group’s Stapylton Resource Recovery Centre (pictured), which is diverting over 185,530 tonnes of waste from landfill every year by separating co-mingled construction and demolition waste like timber and concrete to produce materials for industry such as roadbase and chipped timber for landscaping soils. The facility was partly funded by a $2 million grant from the government’s Resource Recovery Industry Development Program (RRIDP). Grace said: ““Today we are unlocking $45 million in funding for projects tackling waste in three key areas: commercial and industrial waste, renewable energy technologies, and electrical and electronic products and batteries." #manufacturing #manufacturingnews #recycling BMI Group https://lnkd.in/gVX_jwS7

Fortum Battery Recycling Oy and Hydrovolt Forge Partnership for Sustainable Battery Recycling Fortum Battery Recycling and Hydrovolt, a prominent Nordic battery recycler, have forged an agreement for the delivery of black mass to Fortum’s battery material recycling facility in Finland. This collaboration spans a cross-Nordic process: initially, Hydrovolt undertakes mechanical recycling of EV batteries at its inaugural industrial plant in Fredrikstad, Norway. Once the batteries are crushed and transformed into black mass, the material is transported to Fortum’s hydrometallurgical plant in Harjavalta for further processing. At Harjavalta, cutting-edge hydrometallurgical techniques are employed to recover valuable and critical metals from the black mass, which are then reintroduced into the cycle for use in […] - https://lnkd.in/d_hFQnHU #automotive #evs #ev #electricmobility #emobility #ebikes #fleets #evfleet #evnews #autonews #electricvehicles #electricvehicle #automotiveindustry #automotivejobs #cleantech #cleanenergy #hydrogen #lithium #evbattery #sustainability #climatechange #europe #fortumbattery #hydrovolt #sustainablebattery
