Cobalt powers rechargeable battery innovation, helping electric vehicles drive farther and phones last longer. It is also key in hard metals, diamond tools, animal feed, fertilizers, and water treatment. Umicore transforms cobalt into technology materials for a variety of industries and offers a wide range of cobalt oxides, salts and powders. We recover cobalt from production scrap and end-of-life products like Li-ion batteries and petrochemical catalysts, and we were the first to implement a third-party validated Sustainable Procurement Framework for ethical cobalt sourcing.
