Multiple Ways to Collaborate with Refnic
Refnic offers a range of partnership opportunities designed to help stakeholders across the battery recycling value chain unlock value from black mass and end-of-life batteries. Our advanced hydrometallurgical technology, proven process know-how, and modular plant design make us an ideal technology and business partner.
Our Business Collaboration Models
01
Technology Licensing & Know-How Transfer
License our optimized hydrometallurgical flowsheets and process technology for your existing or new refining facility. Includes detailed engineering support, operator training, and ongoing technical assistance to achieve high recovery rates and battery-grade purity.
02
Joint Venture / Co-Development of Refining Plants
Partner with us to set up state-of-the-art black mass refining plants in India. We bring the core technology and process expertise while you contribute feedstock access, land, infrastructure, or capital. Shared upside through equity participation and offtake agreements.
03
Tolling / Custom Refining Services
Send your black mass to our facility (or future joint facilities) for professional refining. We deliver high-purity lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese salts on a tolling basis, allowing you to focus on collection and preprocessing while capturing maximum value from refining.
04
Strategic Offtake & Long-term Supply Agreements
Battery manufacturers and cathode producers can secure reliable, domestic supply of battery-grade metal salts through long-term offtake contracts. Guaranteed purity, consistent quality, and reduced import dependence.
05
