[{"type":"text","content":"New partnership provides U.S. consumers with accessible options for recycling batteries, expanding American Battery Technology Company's business model and strengthening the domestic supply of critical minerals\nReno, Nev., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated critical battery materials company, and Call2Recycle, the nation’s largest consumer battery stewardship and collection program, today announced a strategic partnership to advance the recycling of lithium-ion batteries for consumers across the United States. This collaboration expands ABTC’s business model from primarily business-to-business operations to include a direct-to-consumer recycling channel, creating a more robust circular economy for essential battery metals. Call2Recycle collects end-of-life lithium-ion batteries from consumers and businesses through its extensive network of drop-off locations. Through this partnership, subsets of these batteries will then be transported to ABTC’s advanced recycling facilities. ABTC will process these batteries using its award-winning, closed-loop recycling system, which is designed to recover critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese with high efficiency and a low environmental footprint. This initiative marks a significant step forward in making battery recycling more accessible and effective for the public. “This partnership with Call2Recycle is a pivotal moment for ABTC, as it allows us to directly engage with consumers and extend the reach of our innovative recycling technologies,” stated Ryan Melsert, CEO of American Battery Technology Company. “By creating a seamless and accessible pathway for the public to recycle their batteries, we are not only expanding our operational scope but also reinforcing the domestic supply chain for critical minerals, which is essential for a sustainable energy future.” This strategic alliance directly addresses the critical need to keep valuable battery metals within the domestic supply chain, reducing America's dependence on foreign sources for these essential materials. By providing consumers with accessible recycling options, the partnership ensures that valuable battery materials are recovered and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle rather than ending up in landfills.
