The global battery economy has a recycling problem

Supply chains can't keep up with demand

Rising EV demand and limited natural resources mean battery minerals are still sourced in ways that are costly, energy-intensive, and ethically questionable.

Battery recycling infrastructure is falling short

Government recycling mandates are increasing pressure, but the infrastructure isn't there yet. Without proper tracking, valuable materials are lost overseas.

Urgent investment is needed

From extraction to end-of-life, the battery supply chain needs urgent investment and greater transparency to close the critical refining gap.

OUR SOLUTION

Linca is leading the charge on a circular battery supply chain

Battery-grade recycled metals

We produce battery-grade nickel, cobalt, and lithium salts, meeting recycled metal mandates, for lithium-ion battery manufacturing.

Closed-loop processing technology

End of life batteries contain metals essential for resilient supply chains. We recover them in onshore modular facilities, keeping these valuable materials in continuous circulation.

Traceable chain of custody

Our decentralised processing ensures an end-to-end transparent and verifiable chain of custody.

OUR STORY

About Linca

Spun out of Mint Innovation in 2026, Linca is a battery technology company focused on recovering critical metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.
‍
Linca is backed by £8.1 million in consortium support alongside Jaguar Land Rover, LiBatt Recycling, and WMG at the University of Warwick, with a demonstration facility under construction to deploy its proprietary black mass refining technology.

The project will deliver a robust circular commercial solution to strengthen the battery manufacturing supply chain for the UK automotive industry. Linca’s demonstration facility is planned to be operational in 2027.
