What Redivivus does
Redivivus is a private, early-stage lithium-ion battery recycling company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a planned Center of Excellence in Los Angeles, California. The company has built two proprietary, trademarked technology platforms aimed at different points in the battery recycling value chain. Redi-Shred® is a battery neutralization system that uses cryogenic freezing, mechanical shredding, and energy dissipation to convert Class 9 hazmat lithium-ion batteries — in any state of charge or health — into neutralized slurry that can be shipped at a lower hazmat classification, eliminating the need for laborious manual disassembly. Redi-Cycle™ is a downstream hybrid hydrometallurgical and electrochemical recycling process that Redivivus reports achieves a minimum 92% recovery rate for Nickel and Cobalt and produces a branded Ni-Co alloy called Redivivus Nickel, which is sold as alloying feedstock to metallurgical operations including stainless steel and superalloy industries. Mobile Redi-Shred units are designed to be deployed directly at partner service and sales centers, extending the company's reach beyond fixed processing facilities.
Redivivus operates a B2B enterprise go-to-market targeting OEMs, battery manufacturers, hazmat management companies, battery handlers, and recyclers, with named flagship partners Arcimoto (electric vehicles) and Power Global (clean energy/mobility, including India deployment). Revenue is generated through three articulated streams: service-based fees for white-glove battery logistics, disassembly, and material recovery; transaction-based sales of recovered critical materials (Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Lithium) including Redivivus Nickel; and technology licensing where partners operate Redivivus-designed recycling lines. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; commercial engagement is initiated through partnership discussions and a battery recycling logistics survey form on the company website.
The company is co-founded and led by Erika Guerrero (CEO) and Erik Fleming (Head of Supply Chain and Co-Founder). Through January 2023, Redivivus had raised approximately $1.6 million in cumulative funding across a ~$577K round in mid-2022 and an over-$1M pre-seed round led by ENEOS Innovation Partners in January 2023, with prior crowdfunding participation via StartEngine. Operations are currently at pilot/test-facility scale with 1–10 employees, no disclosed revenue, and the Center of Excellence in Los Angeles planned as the bridge to commercial-scale operations.

Redivivus product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Redivivus provides lithium-ion battery recycling technology and services through two proprietary platforms: Redi-Shred® for safe on-site battery neutralization (cryogenic freezing, shredding, neutralization, transport) and Redi-Cycle™ for high-purity recovery of critical materials (Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Lithium) via hybrid hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processing. The company delivers white-glove logistics and material recovery services to OEMs, battery manufacturers, hazmat management firms, and recyclers, producing Redivivus Nickel alloy as a recovered secondary material output.
Product overview
Redivivus offers a two-technology battery recycling system: Redi-Shred® provides on-site battery neutralization through a freeze-shred-neutralize-transport workflow, while Redi-Cycle™ recovers materials through hybrid hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processes at 92% recovery rates. The company also provides white-glove logistics services and produces Redivivus Nickel alloy as a recovered material output.

Products and services
- Redi-Shred® Battery Recycling System Technological approach to battery processing that neutralizes batteries at any state of charge or health through cryogenic freezing, shredding by chemistry, dissipation of latent potential energy, and safe transport in a lower hazmat class. Eliminates laborious manual disassembly and decreases operational costs and risks. Designed for OEMs, battery manufacturers, hazmat management companies, battery handlers, and recyclers.
- Redi-Cycle™ Recycling Process Hybrid hydrometallurgical and electrochemical lithium-ion battery recycling process that converts battery materials at high purity to secondary materials, achieving a 92% minimum recovery rate of Nickel and Cobalt. Produces Redivivus Nickel alloy usable as alloying feedstock in metallurgical operations. Designed for battery recyclers, OEMs, and metallurgical industries.
- Redivivus Nickel Alloy Nickel and Cobalt metallic alloy produced as the final output of the Redi-Cycle process. Bypasses the challenging and costly step of separating individual elements; can be used in metallurgical operations including stainless steel and superalloy production and is infinitely recyclable back into battery production flow.
- Battery Logistics and Processing Services White-glove battery pickup, logistics, processing, and material recovery service. Shipping neutralized battery material using Redivivus technology is cheaper and safer than alternative methods, with transported material in a lower hazmat class. Offered to OEMs, battery manufacturers, hazmat management companies, and recyclers in the United States and India.

Redivivus competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Ecobat: World's largest recycler of lead-acid batteries, now expanding into Li-ion recycling. Comparable as an established industrial-scale battery recycler expanding from legacy chemistries into Li-ion, though primarily lead-acid today.
- Glencore: Global mining and commodity trading major with significant battery materials recycling operations (including a partnership with Li-Cycle) recovering cobalt, nickel, and lithium from spent batteries. Comparable only at the high level of recovered metals offtake and metallurgical processing.
- Umicore: Belgian materials technology group with a long-established battery recycling business (Umicore Recycling) processing both production scrap and end-of-life batteries via pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical routes. Broad incumbent serving the same automotive and consumer electronics battery recycling market.
Direct peers
- Li-Cycle: Publicly listed (NYSE: LICY) lithium-ion battery recycler operating a spoke-and-hub network of pre-processing facilities feeding a central hydrometallurgical hub. Directly comparable to Redivivus as a Li-ion-focused recycler pursuing both feedstock aggregation and materials recovery, though at far greater scale.
- Ascend Elements: Hydrometallurgical Li-ion battery recycler with a Hydro-to-Cathode process that produces precursor cathode active material (pCAM). Comparable to Redivivus's hybrid hydrometallurgical/electrochemical approach and targets the same OEM feedstock pool.
- Redwood Materials: Founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, Redwood recycles end-of-life Li-ion batteries into cathode and anode materials for new batteries and has partnerships with Panasonic, Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen. Direct competitor for OEM offtake contracts and material recovery capability, with significantly more capital and scale.
- Cirba Solutions: North American battery materials and recycling company (formerly Battery Solutions) operating collection, sorting, and hydrometallurgical recovery for Li-ion and other chemistries. Comparable integrated service offering covering collection through material recovery.
- Battery Resourcers (now Ascend Elements): Pre-merger identity of Ascend Elements, originally a hydrometallurgical Li-ion recycler producing cobalt sulfate, nickel sulfate, and lithium carbonate. Closely comparable technology stack and target market as Redivivus.
Regional players
- Attero: India-based Li-ion and electronics battery recycler with proprietary hydrometallurgical process. Particularly comparable given Redivivus's India expansion via Power Global, operating in the same target geography.
- Retriev Technologies: North American battery recycler primarily focused on lead-acid and increasingly Li-ion chemistries. Comparable as a regional recycler operating in the same geographies as Redivivus (US/Canada) but with a different chemistry mix and scale.
