Are you looking to carry out black mass recycling and add value to your batteries?
What is black mass?
“Black mass” is the material obtained after recycling end-of-life lithium-ion electric batteries. It is a black powder produced after crushing and heating the cells that store electrons. This process aims to recover the precious metals and other valuable components contained in batteries, such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese. Black mass is the result of the first stage of the recycling process, in which batteries are dismantled and the active electrochemical components are separated from the other materials.
Which industrial sectors are concerned by black mass recycling?
Many manufacturers from every sector (automotive, aerospace, nuclear, …) rely on in-house or external laboratories to carry out these analysis.
The FILAB laboratory is COFRAC ISO 17025 accredited and meets IATF requirements.

Black mass is now presented as the new virtuous black gold. Indeed, this black powder is made up of high-value metals, notably nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, lithium and graphite. Once extracted and recovered, these metals can be analyzed and recycled to produce new batteries.
Battery recycling is a fundamental issue because it helps reduce the need to extract new raw materials, supporting the circular economy by turning waste into resources. It is also an essential step toward sustainable battery waste management and the promotion of environmentally responsible industrial practices.
