Oscorp Energy

We build intelligent machines that autonomously sort used batteries so they can be safely recycled. Our first goal is to give recyclers and MRFs the confidence to accept batteries without fear of fires, contamination, or costly disruptions - because our technology makes sorting safer, smarter, and scalable. Why it matters: - Fewer batteries (hazardous waste) end up in landfill - Reduced risk of fires at recycling facilities - More critical metals recovered and reused instead of mined - Lower recycling costs - helping keep everyday tech more affordable By turning old batteries into new resources, we keep dangerous waste out of landfills and help create a cleaner, safer world for everyone.
