Livium Ltd (ASX: LIT) (“Livium” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update in relation to its battery
recycling division, delivered through wholly owned subsidiary Envirostream Australia Pty Limited (Envirostream).
This follows Livium’s strategy update which noted that strategic focus is being placed on Envirostream due to the
potential of increased recycling volumes over the coming years 1. Following this announcement focus has been
placed on safe operations, growing end-of-life volumes, and seeking partners to scale operations in line with the
expected waste outlook and to expand into related services.
VOLUME DEVELOPMENT
Envirostream seeks to secure volumes under long-term servicing agreements and project agreements. Long-term
servicing agreements secured to date include BYD 2, Volvo3, Hyundai Glovis4, Wabtec5, and ZECO Energy6. Project
agreements secured to date include LG Energy Solution 7. Volumes under long-term agreement are expected to
grow over time whereas project agreements have the potential to deliver significant volume over a three-to-sixmonth period and are often in relation to significant battery damage, such as fire, product recall or regulatory
issues, where robust governance processes and safe operating processes are necessary.
Over the last two months, Envirostream has started to receive first volumes under the new long-term agreements
signed over the past six months including BYD and ZECO Energy providing a baseline of volume to support the
transition from non-core batteries, such as alkaline, towards lithium-ion batteries. In addition, Envirostream is in
advanced discussions with a number of these opportunities which have the potential to significantly increase
volumes.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The appointment of Daniel Castro as General Manager Strategy and Business Development has already seen a
range of new opportunities and sources of end-of-life batteries identified and being progressed.
With robust governance processes and safe operating practices, Envirostream is seen as a key partner to
internationally recognised organisations. The business is nearing finalisation of agreements with international
