Li Industries is a critical battery materials company developing next-generation lithium-ion battery recycling and closed-loop materials production technology. Its patented direct recycling process separates and purifies electrode components from spent lithium-ion batteries — including lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries — to produce commercial-grade cathode active material without the environmental cost and poor economics of conventional smelting or hydrometallurgical routes. The company serves battery manufacturers, cathode producers, recyclers and battery collection operations, and in 2024 was selected for a $55 million U.S. Department of Energy award under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to advance closed-loop LFP recycling and manufacturing. Li Industries is headquartered in Pineville, North Carolina, with an engineering center in Charlotte, North Carolina and an R&D center in Blacksburg, Virginia. It is a materials and manufacturing company: it ships physical battery material, not software, and publishes no public API, SDK or developer program.
