Liberty Recycling Solutions

Liberty Recycling Solutions has officially launched, bringing a global solution to Lithium-Ion Battery recycling! 🎉 And we can’t shout about it enough!

Here is what Tim Marlow, Co-Founder of Liberty, had to say about this exciting launch:

“It was my chance meeting with Nick that led on to thousands of conversations, ideas, problems, solutions and fun (for me at least!) over the last 4 years whilst we have been trying to bring something to life that offers the solution we all need as a planet.”

Did you know that only 5% of the world’s lithium-ion batteries are recycled, which has dramatic environmental and financial implications? Extracting just one tonne of lithium requires 500,000 gallons of water.

Liberty has developed a solution: innovative, environmentally friendly lithium-ion and plastic recycling technology. They have solved the problem of recycling vapes, phones, drill batteries, and EV batteries in an automated, safe, and cost-effective method.

Walksafe event

WalkSafe is coming to Manchester!

It was a pleasure to attend the Walksafe Manchester launch event on Wednesday. Dominic McGregor, Charlie Yates, and Rachel McDonald all had a fantastic time and loved to see the news received so well.

This rollout builds on the efforts of Manchester City Council and its partners to make the nighttime safer for everyone, especially women.

“Partnering with Manchester City Council on such a crucial initiative is an absolute privilege,” Emma Kay shared. “Since our launch, we’ve trained hundreds of staff and provided resources to ensure venues are equipped to respond effectively when someone may be at risk.” The response from the council has been outstanding.

It's truly empowering to witness the positive impact Walksafe is having on communities across the nation!
