At SPARC Evolution, we unlock secure supply of critical materials by eliminating costly, complex refining steps. The result is battery-grade products ready for the clean energy economy.
Critical Materials Are the Bottleneck of Electrification
Global refining is concentrated overseas, leaving supply chains vulnerable. Yet the cleanest, fastest domestic source of critical materials is already in front of us as battery waste. Today’s recycling and refining methods, however, remain too costly, complex, and polluting to scale.

Battery Waste Is the Fastest Path to Critical Materials Supply
Battery waste isn’t just a problem; it’s the richest source of critical materials we have. It contains up to 10× more lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite than natural ore, representing a $117B+ opportunity by 2040. But most of that value will stay out of reach without efficient, economical technology.
We’ve built the solution to unlock it.
Revolutionizing Critical Materials Recovery with One Streamlined Process
SPARC™ turns battery waste directly into high-purity lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite by implementing efficient, novel process steps that eliminate the need for complex separations and crystallization.
Direct battery-grade outputs: pCAM and lithium hydroxide, no intermediates
High efficiency: >95% recovery with up to 65% lower energy use
Lower costs: up to 60% lower operating expenses and 50% lower capital costs
SPARC™ eliminates complexity from recycling, delivering battery-grade materials at scale, engineered for real-world deployment and securing critical material supply chains.
SPARC™ is more than an incremental improvement. It’s a redefinition of battery recycling. Built for industrial deployment, it combines efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability in a way conventional methods cannot.
True circularity: High-purity outputs flow directly into new batteries
Low carbon footprint: ~50% fewer emissions than traditional refining
Global impact: Unlocks secure supply of critical materials for electrification
By bridging performance with sustainability, SPARC™ sets a new standard for critical materials recovery.
Mission:
To accelerate the global shift to clean energy by making battery recycling scalable, sustainable, and economically viable.
Vision:
To lead the transformation of critical materials recovery ensuring every battery contributes to a truly circular, sustainable economy.
