Sustainability goes beyond carbon footprint and emissions, and for batteries it begins with base raw materials.

We’re sourcing raw materials in accordance with international standards and practices, as well as introducing some of our own standards to secure a supply chain free from corruption of people or planet.

And if we’re not extracting it, we’re recycling it – reducing our consumption of fresh raw material through a world-first recycling setup.

Northvolt's model for handling end-of-life batteries and circular processes is grounded in state-of-the-art technologies and driven by environmental and industrial logic. We aim to set the gold-standard for battery production.

Circulating valuable metals contained in batteries back into manufacturing not only reduces the need for mining raw materials, it also lowers the environmental impact of batteries and drives down battery costs.
