Technology Minerals PLC (LSE:TM1) said its battery recycling arm has signed a 12-month agreement with Halfords Group, the bikes and car parts chain.
The deal will see its Recyclus business take lithium-ion batteries from Halfords’ e-mobility products.
It will process the waste batteries at its Wolverhampton LiBatt facility, the UK’s first industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling plant.
The facility addresses growing battery waste challenges as electric vehicle adoption rises.
Halfords operates over 1,750 service locations, including its Autocentres.
Technology Minerals chairman Robin Brundle said: "We are thrilled to be working with such a blue-chip household name, who share our aim to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable world underpinned by electric transportation solutions.
"As the latest of multiple agreements of this nature made with elite partners, the deal further evidences the quality of and demand for, Recyclus' Li-ion battery recycling solution. We are hugely excited to begin this journey with Halfords and look forward to a bright future together."
