About Aqua Metals

Aqua Metals recycles metals from used batteries, helping reduce waste. Its technology recovers materials like lead and lithium for new batteries. This benefits battery makers and industries needing sustainable raw materials.

Products and Services

Recycled lead products: Hard lead, lead compounds, and plastics for battery and manufacturing industries (historically; 100% of revenue before 2020).
Lithium-ion battery recycling: Recovery of lithium carbonate, nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese for battery supply chains (pilot stage; 0% of 2025 revenue).
AquaRefining process: Proprietary, electricity-powered recycling method for extracting high-purity metals from batteries.
PureMetrics software: Platform for monitoring production and operational data at recycling facilities.

Growth and Expansion

Shifted focus in 2025 to lithium-ion battery recycling and new materials.
Sold Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center facility in 2025 to reallocate capital.
Entered MOUs with Impossible Metals and MOBY Robotics in 2025 for deep-sea mineral recovery research.
Signed non-binding term sheet in February 2026 to acquire Lion Energy, expanding into energy storage and battery cell production.

What Makes Aqua Metals Stand Out

Aqua Metals uses a closed-loop, electricity-powered process instead of traditional smelting. Its modular technology allows flexible, scalable recycling operations. The company holds several patents and focuses on reducing waste and emissions.

Five Things You Need to Know

No commercial revenue in 2025 or 2024; $25,000 in 2023 (down 100% over two years).
Net loss was $22.6 million in 2025, improving 8% from 2024.
Operating expenses fell 2% to $23.3 million in 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents rose to $10.8 million at year-end 2025.
Company had 11 employees and no outstanding debt as of December 2025.

Bottom Line

Aqua Metals has shifted from lead recycling to lithium-ion battery materials. The company remains in pilot stages, focusing on technology development and capital management.
