Lithium Battery Recycling solutions is a new division under the Cawleys Group of companies dedicated to the collection and recycling of Lithium batteries,especially from mobility sources.

Cawleys became a holder of an Approved Battery Exporter licence (ABE) in 2017 enabling them to have an approved waste facility under The Battery Directive 2006. At this time we set up our first workshop to be able to break large LiBs down to a modular level and offer a heightened level of safety and confidence in handling and shipping abroad. A lot was learned from this stage as we had to create our own safety protocols, operating procedures, risk assessments and source applicable High Voltage training.

Today we have all licences and permissions in place to collect, treat and recycle LiBs with one of the UK’s first Mechanical Shredding lines which separates the materials inside a LiB for refining into new raw materials. Our future focus is dedicated to the development of a new value chain market for LiB materials to keep costs controlled and offer a truly circular economy solution with the opportunity to make new batteries from old materials.
