\u201cThis grant from the WA Government represents a meaningful step forward in our mission to establish a sustainable national battery recycling ecosystem,\u201d said Livium\u2019s CEO and Managing Director, Simon Linge.<\/p>\n
\u201cWA’s grants seek to increase e-waste reuse, storage, collection, processing and recycling capabilities, creating jobs and supporting WA’s circular economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The grant, awarded to Livium\u2019s subsidiary Envirostream Australia Pty Ltd, will support the development of a WA-based battery recycling facility for collection, sorting, discharge and temporary storage.<\/p>\n
This facility will handle batteries locally before they are transported to Envirostream\u2019s Campbellfield plant in Victoria for final processing into Mixed Metal Dust (MMD) and other recoverable metals.<\/p>\n
The WA facility is expected to significantly expand Envirostream\u2019s capacity, strengthen its collection network, and support a broader national battery recycling strategy.<\/p>\n
