AraBat

AraBat is a deep-tech startup based in Delaware, US, and Italy, developing bio-based hydrometallurgical technologies for the sustainable recycling of lithium batteries and e-waste. Our proprietary process uses biomass-derived chemistry to recover critical raw materials, strategic metals and selected rare earth elements from complex waste streams, reducing the need for aggressive chemicals and offering a cleaner alternative to conventional recycling routes. AraBat’s mission is to transform waste into a new strategic resource for the energy transition, electric mobility, electronics, and industrial supply chains. By recovering materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, precious metals and rare earth elements where present, we aim to strengthen raw material independence, support resilient supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of primary extraction. We are building a new generation of recycling technologies where nature, chemistry and industrial innovation work together to give raw materials a second life. We are open to collaborations with investors, industrial partners, recyclers, manufacturers, and organizations committed to critical raw materials recovery, clean technologies and sustainable industrial innovation.
