ClimateTech startup Watercycle Technologies has secured £3m to help lead the charge towards net zero.
The University of Manchester spinout was co-founded by Dr Seb Leaper and Dr Ahmed Abdelkarim in 2020 to provide secure and sustainable supplies of critical raw materials.
The company designs and builds end-to-end mineral recovery and water treatment systems fit for a circular economy.
The grant will go towards a £6m project to establish a demonstration-scale manufacturing line capable of recovering and refining lithium from waste streams for use in electric vehicle batteries.
