Sustainability
A Greener Approach to Battery Production & Recycling
At MANA.energy, we prioritize sustainability by using Earth-abundant materials like silicon, sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen. Our batteries eliminate rare, toxic metals and reduce harmful organic solvents, aiming for CO2-neutral production by 2027. This aligns with the EU’s climate goals, offering a greener, more sustainable future for energy storage.
MANA.energy’s battery design simplifies recycling. Unlike conventional NMC batteries, which face low lithium recovery rates (around 10%) and complex recycling processes, MANA batteries allow for up to 90% lithium recovery, making the process more efficient and eco-friendly.
