Envirostream Australia is the first onshore company to offer lithium and mixed battery recycling in Australia. Launched in 2017, we’ve developed safe and innovative management solutions for one of the Australian waste industry’s biggest challenges: lithium-ion battery recycling.
What we provide
Our Australian lithium battery recycling company specializes in responsibly handling end-of-life batteries. We employ cutting-edge technologies to recover valuable materials while minimizing environmental impact. Committed to sustainability, we contribute to a circular economy by diverting batteries from landfills and promoting resource conservation for a greener future.
Here’s how
Envirostream safely discharges, dismantles, shreds and recovers materials through a highly controlled process. Batteries are shred, washed and screened to allow recovery of the valuable materials within them. This way batteries are diverted from landfill and no harm is done to the environment.
The proof behind our technology
How our processing works
Envirostream uses a wet-shredding and washing process to control risks at our EPA-licenced facility located in Melbourne, Victoria.
Safe handling is paramount
Our safe facilities incorporate high level controls, such as fire bays and VESDA systems. Reducing risk associated with handling and processing.
Safe and reliable collection
Dangerous Goods rated boxes and fire-resistant liners are used to collect and transport batteries from across Australia.

Materials Recovered through Processing
Redirecting battery waste from landfill, promoting recycling, resource recovery, and reuse, enables us to minimise environmental impact and preserve our precious environment.
Maximising Resource Recovery
Our processes capture precious battery materials such as copper, aluminium, plastic, steel and mixed metal dust through EPA licensed processing facility.
Growing the Circular Economy
Mixed metal dust produced from processed lithium-ion batteries is sent to battery manufacturers to produce new batteries. Whilst the metals go to local recyclers.
