AraBat srl

Honored to be a guest on Mattina Norba Weekend on TeleNorba! I had the pleasure of sharing the journey of AraBat srl and some of our latest milestones: 🍊Patent granted for our (first) bio-based lithium battery recycling process. 🍊New bio-based recycling patent in development. 🍊Ongoing work on a new disruptive bio-based technology for further materials beyond batteries. AraBat srl is not just about oranges or batteries. It’s not just business, technology, sustainability, or circularity. It’s something more: it’s vision. Our vision is clear: to reshape the world and the future of our planet through a social-ecological perspective. We aim to solve challenges across industries and human projects using natural elements and properties. It may sound like an impossible mission, but every day, we push the limits of what’s achievable. As the great philosopher Jacques Derrida reminds us: “We must do the impossible, we must do and think the impossible. If only the possible happened, nothing more would happen. If I only did what I can do, I wouldn’t do anything.” Let’s redefine what’s possible. https://lnkd.in/efXpkZ-d

Happy to be part of Sandbox Accelerator Program, one of the best programs for climate-tech startups, organized by Forest Valley Institute. See you on March 27th 2025 for the Demo Day event 🔋🍊

Big news: our first-ever patent! Oranges and batteries are now officially synonymous. We have been granted a patent in Italy for our innovative bio-based battery recycling technology. This major milestone, soon to be followed by filings in other strategic countries, marks the beginning of a well-structured intellectual property protection and technology licensing strategy that we are building step by step. Efficiency, sustainability, and circularity are the core principles behind our invention. Once industrialized, it could play a key role in eliminating unsustainable mining and replacing competitors’ recycling processes that are neither nature-based nor designed to stay within socio-ecological limits. A huge step forward for the future of truly sustainable battery recycling! 🚀🔋🍊 A special thanks to Gerardo Greco for guiding us through this process and supporting us in achieving this milestone.

Happy to be awarded by Google at GoBeyond powered by Sisal, call for best Italian startups 🚀🔋🍊

We’re thrilled to announce that AraBat has been ranked #72 among Lithium-Ion Battery companies on F6S this December! Being recognized on a platform with over 1.9 million partners worldwide is a significant achievement for us. This milestone underscores our commitment to advancing sustainability and innovation in lithium-ion battery recycling. At AraBat, we strive to create bio-based solutions that recover valuable resources and minimize environmental impact. Thank you for supporting us on this journey towards an orange future 🔋🍊 https://lnkd.in/dw5VuYqz

Only nature-based solutions can consistently address the challenge of climate change. It's no longer about exploiting nature to create value and reduce negative externalities; instead, it's about leveraging nature to create value and well-being without generating negative externalities. We must view today's world through the lens of post-growth, social-ecological systems, and a commitment to sustainability and circularity, embracing the regenerative potential of supply chains. This vision aligns perfectly with the mission of our startup, AraBat srl and its groundbreaking nature-based technology, AraMet. This enables the recycling of lithium batteries (and, hopefully, more in the near future!) using plant waste and organic acids. By repurposing food waste, such as orange peels, artichoke leaves, and many other types, we recover critical raw materials like Ni, Co, and Li with high efficiency, allowing them to be reused in new batteries or other industries. But our impact doesn’t stop there: 🔸Lower energy consumption thanks to our low-temperature and short-time leaching; 🔸Significant reductions in CO2 emissions and soil acidification; 🔸Enhanced safety in operations management; 🔸Substantial cost savings; 🔸And most importantly, providing a sustainable destination for the millions of tons of fruit and vegetable waste that go unused every day. Our process is unparalleled on a global scale for its holistic and forward-thinking approach. It doesn’t just focus on efficiency; it envisions a truly better future for everyone.

On October 3rd, 2022, I had the incredible honor of shaking hands with the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, during the ENI Joule for Entrepreneurship awards. AraBat srl was recognized among the best Italian startups, and this moment will forever be a testament to the hard work, dedication, and innovation behind our journey 🧡🚀
