Gigafactory firm Britishvolt has formed a joint venture to recycle the batteries it will make at its planned plant in Northumberland.
The company will work with strategic partner Glencore to set up a battery recycling plant at the Britannia Refined Metals plant in Northfleet, Kent, which will secure existing jobs at that site and create new posts.
The facility - which is expected to be operational by 2023 - will process all of Britishvolt’s scrap materials from the plant at Cambois. It will be powered by renewable energy, and will also look to develop additional recycling facilities.
