Altero

We have developed and patented a unique technology worldwide for the recycling of rechargeable lithium-ion, polymer lithium, and nickel metal hydride batteries that do not produce emissions or environmental discharges. Our process does not require nitrogen or the prior discharge of the batteries. Additionally, the process controls and purifies the electrolyte emissions.

Can it be altered in a sustainable way?

We alter to conserve, renew resources responsibly, and return materials to the earth in a sustainable and innovative way.

Alter the life cycle of materials through design and innovation in technological processes in order to renew their production loops as soon as possible. Alter the direct path to a landfill to give new life to previously non-renewable materials and therefore help the environment by not depleting limited resources.

Clean energy?

We believe that non-conventional technologies for the sustainable recycling of lithium-ion batteries are the key to creating effective pathways to develop the electrification industry, combating climate change, and reducing the consumption of fossil fuels to create energy

Help us transform lithium-ion batteries by recovering rare and increasingly valuable materials to meet global sustainable development goals.
