Battery Recycling Economic Model

Plug in key assumptions to see what is economically feasible for a new battery recycling plant.

Description
1) Integrated Financial Architecture & Decision Outputs
  • 10‑year horizon with a fully integrated 3‑statement model (IS/BS/CF).

  • Valuation & returns: DCF, IRR, ROI, equity multiple, and minimum cash required.

  • Dual lenses for operator and investor views, aligned to real decisions.

  • Monthly and annual pro formas plus an Executive Summary that rolls from KPIs to cash flow.

  • 21 charts & graphs covering revenue mix, cost stack, per‑tonne economics, and cash runway.

  • Fully editable and unlocked so every assumption and linkage is transparent.

2) Revenue, Products & Collections (AR)
  • Configure up to four feedstock intake channels with inbound tonnes per month.

  • Model three acquisition types: tolled, gated, and recycler bidding.

  • Choose pathway: BM‑only or refine further into metals.

  • Set forward pricing per tonne for all products/by‑products; adjust over time to reflect market dynamics.

  • Define BM yields and value per tonne by category for realistic revenue capture.

  • Accounts Receivable (AR) configuration: set % collected at sale and distribute remaining receipts across up to three subsequent months, flowing into AR balances, cash receipts, and liquidity planning.

3) Costs, Capex & Financing
  • Indirect fixed costs (lighting, non‑direct utilities, supervisors) separated from variable/throughput costs.

  • Direct labor by work center (shifts, headcount, salaries) for precise staffing economics.

  • Feedstock costs per tonne overall and by inbound channel; BM refining costs per tonne; selling costs for BM and refined outputs.

  • Construction & equipment schedule with depreciation and dedicated SG&A sections.

  • Financing modules: construction loan plus two operating loans, with Sources & Uses and working‑capital impacts tied to AR and collections timing.

  • Automated outputs and visuals for average revenue, cost, and profit per tonne to benchmark channels and pathways.
