Its role Owner
Cirba Solutions is a leading North American battery recycling and critical materials recovery company specializing in the sustainable management and processing of end-of-life batteries and manufacturing scrap. It safely handles all battery chemistries and formats, including lithium-ion, lithium primary, alkaline, lead-acid, and nickel-based batteries, recovering valuable metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese for reuse in new battery production.
The company operates one of the largest coast-to-coast networks of facilities across the United States and Canada, with key sites including its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina; major lithium-ion processing campuses in Lancaster and Baltimore, Ohio; locations in Wixom, Michigan; Mesa and Eloy, Arizona; and Trail, British Columbia. It provides comprehensive services encompassing collection, logistics with an internal fleet, de-installation, sorting, shredding, hydrometallurgical processing to produce black mass, and refining into battery-grade metal salts, sulfates, and lithium carbonate. These outputs support closed-loop supply chains for electric vehicle and energy storage manufacturers.
Founded in 1991 and restructured in 2022 through the combination of predecessor entities including Battery Solutions, Retriev Technologies, and Heritage Battery Recycling, Cirba Solutions is privately held with backing from investors such as EQT Infrastructure and Marubeni. It has secured substantial U.S. Department of Energy grants exceeding $280 million to expand capacity, notably at its Lancaster, Ohio site and a new Columbia, South Carolina facility. The company positions itself as a pioneer in commercial-scale lithium-ion recycling in the U.S. and a key contributor to domestic critical minerals security and the circular economy in the battery industry.
