A New Zealand biotech company has signed a deal with a major UK car maker to pilot an EV battery recycling programme.
Mint Innovation announced last month it had signed a deal with Jaguar Land Rover to use its technology to recover metals such as lithium, nickel and cobalt from end-of-life batteries.
The deal with Jaguar Land Rover is in collaboration with the University of Warwick and LiBatt Recycling and includes funding from the UK Government.
The project, which will see Mint's black mass refining technology, will run for three years to 2028 out of the West Midlands in the UK.
Chief executive of Mint, Will Barker, speaks to Susie about what the deal means for the Auckland company.
