Reducing lithium-caused fires at waste facilities​

Li-Tech aims to innovate today’s waste facilities by developing a control system to reduce battery-related fires in waste facilities.
Our solution consists of unique sensory data that generates a realistic image of the composition of the waste. These parameters are processed by an algorithm that provides the user with an indication of which electronic components contain flammable batteries.
Our vision is to create safe, environmentally friendly, and resource-efficient waste management.

Our solution ensures

Improved efficiency and reduced costs

Fires in waste facilities pose a huge economic threath, both in terms of disruption in production, damages to essensial equitment and lost of valuable materials.

A safe work environment

Our customers experience smaller fire approaches almost every day. Reduced fires will increase the safety for employees working in the facilities.

Improved climate impact and reduced Co2 emissions

The fires release hazardous chemicals, polluting nearby ecosystems. Furthermore, essential resources which could be utilized in the value chain are being dissolved.

How we do it

Li-Tech’s solution is consistent of sensorydata that combined with an industrial camera provides a control system for classification of components with and without batteries. Our solution is based on safe radiation, and adjusted to today’s practice at waste facilities and existing processes.

Why we do it

Did you know that E-waste is the world’s fastest growing waste stream?
Lithiumion batteries, found in almost all portable electronic components, are one of the fastest-growing fractions. Due to their exponential growth, several problems related to end-of-life treatment have occurred. In January 2021 the UK-based Research and Consulting firm Eunomia reported that fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in waste fractions are costing the UK ￡158 million each year.
