ARE YOU SELLING?

Get the most out of your batteries

Many parameters determine the value of batteries and where they should go. Some are suitable for second life, some are not. Some have high material value, some do not.

TRADE

We match supply and demand

TRANSPORT

We manage compliant packaging and logistics

REPORTING

Traceability and reporting on collection and recycling

WORKSHOPS, DISMANTLERS & FLEET OWNERS

Cling’s international network of buyers look to source various types of batteries. We support sellers by identifying the highest bidding buyer, regardless if it is for reuse, repurposing or recycling.

We provide one point of contact to buyers for all your batteries and manage everything from transfer of liabilities to payments and logistics.

Batteries degrade quickly if not stored and maintained correctly, therefore. List your batteries for purchase today!

WHAT WE DO

FAQ

Market price is determined by matching supply and demand. It may sound simple but when it comes to waste this is not the case. We have identified close to 100 parameters that impact the price in one way or another. By mediating the conversation between seller and buyer, we help the parties to converge towards a market price.

WE DO WHAT MARKETS DO BEST

In the circular business of batteries? Clings market platform has a sustainable solution for both buyers and sellers!

The Cling market platform connects dismantlers, workshops and other owners of used lithium-ion batteries with the buyers that capture most environmental and commercial value. Sometimes that is repurposing and sometimes material recycling. By consolidating batteries and battery data on the platform we provide buyers with a one-stop-shop for sourcing large volumes of batteries at market price.

Circular batteries. This is massive.

The potential: Lithium-ion batteries are soon the backbone of our energy systems. They will all reach end-of-life. When they do, they transform into highly valuable assets of critical raw material that must be recycled to ensure independent and sustainable supply to new batteries. Efficient recycling will be a key component to introducing competition in energy storage.

 

Cling is the beginning of a new digital collection system.
Designed to go global.

Profitable circularity requires a new level of market intelligence

The problem: Battery systems come in all shapes and forms and with vastly different electrical properties. Each of these have been used differently and must individually be evaluated for reuse, repurposing and recycling. These factors creates a massively complex matching problem – where should each and every battery go? Add to this, batteries reach end-of-life in a very fragmented ecosystem.

Cling’s solution: We solve this massively complex problem with a relatively simple solution to start with, a b2b market platform targeting the end-of-life ecosystem of lithium-ion batteries. This is, however, only the beginning.

 

The Cling platform

Our platform offers one uniquely comprehensive solution for all to enable reuse and recycling at scale. Cling’s platform allows verified professionals to trade used batteries based on their specific needs. Our value creation is comprised of three critical offerings:

  • aggregated batteries
  • structured and comprehensive data
  • simple and safe logistics
How it works

The green electric revolution

Lithium-ion batteries power the rapid electrification of the energy and transportation sectors that currently account for 3/4 of all greenhouse gas emissions. 

Batteries solve one problem with another

Today, production of lithium-ion batteries consumes unsustainable amounts of energy while emitting considerable amounts of GHG emissions. In addition to this, there are ethical and social dilemmas connected to the extraction of raw materials. Therefore more batteries need to be recycled at a higher efficiency rate. 

Circular batteries

When a battery has fulfilled its purpose in the first application it can often be remanufactured and used in a so-called second life. The battery’s life is extended through recirculation, and we are using the planet’s resources in a more efficient way. In theory, it is very simple. The challenge is to apply this in reality which sets high demands on logistics, management and cooperation.

The b2b market platform

The online mine works as a platform in order to match battery-owners with recyclers and re-manufacturers. A match that is not being made efficiently today. Through the online mine, the battery will find its way to the right circular value stream based on the data requested by the buyer.
