Mecaware is a French cleantech company focused on the chemical recovery of critical metals from lithium‑ion batteries and related production scrap. The company develops hydrometallurgical processes to selectively extract and refine metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, aiming to return them to the battery materials supply chain.
By emphasizing low‑temperature, reagent‑efficient operations and selective separation steps, Mecaware targets lower environmental impact compared with conventional thermal routes. Its outputs typically include metal salts and solutions suitable for cathode active material production, supporting circularity and supply security for Europe’s battery and electrification industries.
