Cirba Solutions at The Battery Show North America 2026

Cirba Solutions, a leading battery recycling company, is set to participate in The Battery Show North America, happening from October 12 to 15 in Detroit. This annual event highlights the vital role of battery recycling and the recovery of critical minerals in strengthening domestic battery supply chains.

As experts in battery recycling, Cirba Solutions emphasizes the importance of enhancing the supply of recovered critical minerals to meet an increasing demand for these essential materials. Kody Krady, Director of Battery Material Sales and Business at Cirba Solutions, remarked, "The battery industry continues to evolve rapidly, both domestically and globally. Battery recycling plays a vital role in fortifying the value chain by increasing the supply of recovered critical minerals."

Advancing Closed-Loop Supply Chains

Cirba Solutions is actively focused on establishing closed-loop supply chains, ensuring sustainable practices within the industry. A recent collaboration with General Motors (GM) exemplifies this commitment. Together, the companies successfully completed a closed-loop electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling pilot project. This initiative allows for the materials recovered from end-of-life GM EV battery packs to be reused, resulting in new batteries made from cathode active material (CAM) that contains entirely recycled nickel, cobalt, and manganese.

Last month, GM celebrated a significant milestone as the first batch of EVs, powered by battery cells incorporating these recycled critical minerals, rolled off the assembly line. This partnership not only promotes sustainability but also contributes to building a more resilient circular economy.

Engagement Opportunities at The Battery Show

Cirba Solutions will have representatives on-site at The Battery Show, available to connect with partners and attendees interested in fostering a stronger circular economy. The company encourages those attending to reach out via email at [email protected] to discuss collaborative efforts aimed at overcoming challenges within the industry.

In addition to partnerships with OEMs like GM, Cirba Solutions collaborates with various stakeholders, collecting end-of-life and scrap batteries from energy storage systems, gigafactories, retailers, municipalities, and more. This wide-ranging network enhances their ability to recover critical materials efficiently, ensuring that they are reintegrated into the supply chain.
