will take on several leadership and corporate responsibilities
for Altilium, including the development of its planned ACT 4 battery recycling
facility in Teesside. The plant will have the capacity to process scrap from more
than 150,000 electric vehicles (EVs) per year, producing 30,000 metric tons of
cathode active material (CAM) and meeting nearly 20 percent of the expected demand
in the U.K. by 2030, the company says.
“I am thrilled to join Altilium
at such an exciting time and to continue my journey from trading petrochemicals
to advocating for sustainable solutions,” Cartwright says. “The EV revolution
is here, and recycling is critical to its sustainability. I look forward to
working with the impressive Altilium team, helping to drive continued

also minimize environmental harm in the process.”
