Capability is built from knowledge, know-how, and the means to apply them. Credibility is earned.
It’s why the industry comes to us.
Regeneration
Re-energise modules. Keep fleets running.
Reinvention
Build new from what's recovered.
Why GTI exists
There's a societal problem.
We're the technical answer.
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of EV battery packs are coming back faster than the infrastructure can handle them.
The electric drive units contain NdFeB rare-earth magnets the UK cannot source domestically.
We're an energy-poor nation that needs every kilo of recoverable material.
Three problems meet at the end of a battery's first life. GreenTech Industries was founded to solve them.
The founders of GreenTech Industries built Britain's most advanced battery programmes: the McLaren P1, the Aston Martin Rapide E, the Lotus Evija, the McLaren Solus GT. Building them is how we know what's inside these packs, what it takes to disassemble them properly, and what value remains when it's done right.
Green technology is one of the fastest growing industries in the UK, and that growth has outpaced the circular economy needed to support it.
Tony Booth, CEO & Co-Founder
We are an organisation with a strong identity and a purpose, almost a cause.
Will Grocott, Chief Programme Officer
GTI’s answer to an inherited problem is retention, regeneration, and reinvention, with one purpose: keeping every pack’s value in the chain.
Where we operate
Three forces. One position that matters.
GreenTech Industries operates where market demand, technical capability, and legislative pressure meet. Most operators address one of them. GTI works across all three.
The market
EV adoption accelerated faster than end-of-life infrastructure. OEMs, fleet operators, and insurers now face a growing backlog of packs with no compliant, commercially viable destination. The demand is structural. SMMT forecasts 235,000 tonnes of EV batteries reaching end of life in the UK by 2040.
The product
Precision disassembly at industrial scale, with the diagnostic data, component grading, and material provenance to unlock value at every level of the battery supply chain. It is the first stage in the chain, ahead of black mass and bulk shredding.
Legislation
EU Battery Regulation, Right to Repair and Extended Producer Responsibility are building a legislative framework that rewards what GTI does: traceable, certified, high-integrity disassembly.
That position is what lets GTI help shape what compliant looks like.
2017–2026
From discovery to production line.
Nine years of self-funded research, acquired IP, and infrastructure built from the ground up, culminating in the UK's only precision production line for high-voltage EV battery disassembly.
2017
Self-funded R&D begins
GTI’s founders begin self-funded research into high-voltage battery end-of-life, partnering with WCG on HV safety training methodology. They build the process from scratch.
2018–19
milestone
Innovate UK & Hyperbat
Innovate UK grant secured. Hyperbat joint venture established with Williams Advanced Engineering, placing GTI's founders inside the development of Britain's most advanced battery production programme.
2019
The Discovery
Residual value in EV battery components
Working through 100+ battery packs across five sectors, the team identifies that significant residual value sits in battery components as well as raw materials. Cells, modules, and management systems can be recovered, tested, graded, and sold.
2020–21
BattStore & BattRev: two product lines emerge
Operating across five sectors with 100+ batteries processed, two distinct commercial products take shape: BattStore (second-life BESS deployment) and BattRev (component recovery and resale). The process knowledge to do both at scale begins to codify.
2022
IP development: protocols, automation, diagnostics
Formal IP development accelerates: safe derate methodologies, robotic testing procedures, and precision disassembly protocols are documented and protected. The diagnostic data asset, the battery health records accumulated across every pack processed, begins to compound.
2023–24
352m² facility · ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001
Sucham Park facility established at 352m². ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications achieved, giving commercial customers the compliance assurance needed for Duty of Care transfer. Component resale at commercial scale begins.
2024
The Consolidation
FOR3V3R Ltd acquired · GTI incorporated
FOR3V3R Ltd is acquired, along with its accumulated IP portfolio. GreenTech Industries Ltd is incorporated in September 2024, consolidating the operational history, IP, certifications, and commercial relationships into a single entity built for scale.
2026
The Transition
Westfield Road: the UK's first precision production line
GTI's Westfield Road facility opens. The UK's first and only precision production line for high-voltage EV battery disassembly comes online, purpose-built for the volume the market is now producing.
grants
Mobilise26: backed at national level
Mobilise26 won. The ADAM programme, backed by the Advanced Propulsion Centre, funds the scale-up beyond Westfield Road. Three live consortium programmes now run through the line with MTC, Coventry University, the University of Birmingham, UKBIC and Hatch, funded by Innovate UK and APC.
grants
AutoDMR · DRIVE35
Funding secured through the UK Government's DRIVE35 programme for AutoDMR (Automated Disassembly, Material Recovery of EV batteries). A 12-month project with the Manufacturing Technology Centre and Coventry University, automating the two manual steps that hold back throughput at Southam: assessing each pack on arrival, and opening it without destroying the components still within their design life. Around eight times current capacity.
Intellectual property
Nine years of process knowledge,
protected.
GreenTech Industries' IP portfolio represents the accumulated process knowledge from every battery processed since 2017. It is fully owned, with no restrictions from university or public funding partnerships.

Brand Identity
GTI's visual identity, messaging frameworks, and commercial positioning, designed to set GTI apart in a market that is still taking shape.
IP provenance
GTI's IP was developed operationally, by processing real battery packs under real commercial conditions. The FOR3V3R Ltd acquisition in 2024 and the Aspire Engineering relationship brought this accumulated knowledge base fully under GTI ownership.
No university IP restrictions
GTI's portfolio is fully owned and commercially unrestricted. Partnerships with institutions like Coventry University are research collaborations rather than licensing arrangements.
Built operationally. Owned outright.
The only way to know what's safe to process and what's still worth keeping is to have done it, hundreds of times, at scale.
In the conversation
Shaping how the
industry talks about this.
GTI's founders can talk about this from every angle: battery design, manufacturing, disassembly, and the chain that handles what comes after. We turn what we learn operationally into what the industry can use: speaking slots, partnerships with universities and OEMs, and the pack-level data we build up on the line. When we name a problem publicly, an industry partner is usually standing next to us confirming they've seen it too.
Recovery doesn't need to cost the Earth. It works with materials already in circulation, and doing it properly doesn't have to cost a fortune.
Will Grocott, Chief Programme Officer
The industry is setting standards for packs it has never seen inside. We open them every day, and the record of what we find, pack by pack, is how those decisions start being made on evidence.
Tony Booth, CEO & Co-Founder
