Bridge Green Upcycle
Volta MemberVFAbout
Bridge Green Upcycle recycles lithium-ion batteries into high-grade black mass and precursor materials, and refurbishes batteries with useful life left for second-life use.
It handles both ternary and LFP batteries, combining mechanochemistry with hydrometallurgy to produce precursor materials of about 99% purity. An AI model predicts each battery's state of health to sort it for recycling or refurbishment, and second-life packs go into power backup and energy storage. The company also offers a master BMS controller and QR-based battery identity tracking.
Bridge Green Upcycle was founded in 2023 by Balakrishnan G. Iyer. Its US headquarters is in Binghamton, New York, and it also has an office in Chennai, India.
