Overview
About American Li-ion
American Li-ion is a privately held US lithium-ion battery recycling and critical-minerals company that operates a state-of-the-art facility in Atoka, Oklahoma. Sitting on the recycling side of the critical-minerals supply chain, American Li-ion transforms spent lithium-ion batteries and unsorted battery black mass into high-quality cathode and anode materials; its Atoka plant is described as North America’s first commercial-scale facility capable of processing unsorted black mass into 99% pure precursor cathode active material (pCAM). The company recovers strategic battery metals including lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese, addressing a key gap in Western industrial strategy where most US-generated black mass, an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 metric tonnes annually, is otherwise exported to Asia for processing. Led by CEO Leon Farrant, American Li-ion positions itself as a domestic refining link supporting US critical-mineral independence.
