May 17, 2025 | Shenzhen — At the 17th China International Battery Fair (CIBF2025) held in Shenzhen, BTR New Material Group unveiled its groundbreaking “Full-Chain Rebirth” closed-loop recycling solution for both cathode and anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. This initiative underscores BTR’s commitment to sustainable practices and technological innovation in the battery industry.
Advancements in Cathode Recycling
BTR introduced the S cathode material, produced without the use of precursors, achieving zero wastewater discharge during production. This method not only streamlines the recycling process but also significantly reduces environmental impact. The approach facilitates an ultra-short regeneration cycle from cathode black mass to ready-to-use cathode materials, enhancing efficiency and sustainability.
Innovations in Anode Material Renewal
On the anode front, BTR’s “Flexible Newborn” technology enables the regeneration of anode materials, highlighted by the debut of R graphite. This process allows for the effective recycling of spent anode materials, contributing to resource conservation and reducing the need for virgin material extraction.
Commitment to Sustainable Development
BTR’s closed-loop recycling strategy aligns with global efforts to establish a circular economy in the battery sector. By focusing on the recovery and reuse of critical materials, BTR aims to mitigate raw material shortages and minimize environmental impacts associated with battery production and disposal.
Industry Reception and Future Outlook
The unveiling of these recycling solutions garnered significant attention from industry professionals at CIBF2025. BTR’s booth showcased its comprehensive technological ecosystem, including solid-state battery materials, fast-charging anode solutions, and integrated application demonstrations, reflecting the company’s holistic approach to innovation and sustainability.
As the demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to rise, BTR’s advancements in closed-loop recycling present a promising path forward for the industry, balancing technological progress with environmental responsibility.
