Two-minute obligation check
What do you owe Europe?
Tick where you sell and what you ship β get an instant, plain-English map of the obligations you're likely carrying, and what handing them to one partner looks like.
One partner for the obligation, the material and the proof.
Selling batteries into Europe brings obligations in every market you touch. RAW TG carries them as one accountable partner β the legal representation, the physical recycling and the digital evidence.
A retired pack reaches our UK operation. Before anything moves, the consignment exists on our platform β origin, weight, chemistry claim, duty-of-care record open.
2 · Sorted and graded on evidence.
Chemistry and state confirmed, not assumed. EWC coding, hazard assessment and packaging checks happen here β because route, value and paperwork all follow from what the material is shown to be.
3 · Every movement writes the record.
Each transfer appends to the same chain-of-custody β one consignment, one auditable thread from source to processor. No re-keying, no gaps.
4 · Recovered where it's genuinely worth most.
Black mass and metal fractions routed to documented recovery β nickel, cobalt, lithium and copper established by assay and evidenced at the point of treatment.
5 · The proof outlives the battery.
Recovery evidence flows into EPR declarations, battery passports and your customers' audits β the same record, three uses, zero extra admin for you.
The trading engine
When material needs to move: we buy, manage and route battery material trades internationally.
RAW TG is the commercial bridge between upstream supply and global downstream value β buying sorted lithium-ion batteries and black mass, routing material through RTG-backed global routes, and supporting strategic partnerships where appropriate.
We buy, manage and route battery-derived materials where the chemistry, condition, documentation and commercial route are suitable.
Chemistries and form factors, graded on what they actually are.

Global trading network
Built as RTG's global battery materials trading conduit.
RAW TG connects material sources with international downstream routes β sourcing, grading and routing battery materials to the highest-value suitable destination across the wider RTG ecosystem.
RAW TG was created to connect RTG's international recycling assets, partner sites and downstream markets into one commercial trading engine. Our role is to source, grade and route battery materials to the highest-value suitable destination β whether that is an RTG group facility, an approved recycling partner, a specialist refiner or an international downstream buyer.
For recyclers, collectors and material holders, RAW TG provides access to stronger commercial routes, improved pricing visibility and a trading partner with global reach. Cross-border movement, export and import documentation and consolidation are handled as core competencies, subject to classification, route and regulatory requirements.

Supply routed to the best-fit destination. RAW TG sits between fragmented supply and the processors, refiners and buyers who value the material correctly.
Supply in, offtake out, every movement on the record. The full trading-desk animation now sits on the What We Do page where buyers and partners can inspect the flow in context.
The RTG ecosystem
Three roles, one clear chain of accountability.
RAW TG is the commercial engine. It is backed by RTG's capital and capability, and delivered on the group's own compliance platform.
Built for serious material holders, not speculative introductions.
RAW TG helps recyclers, collectors and battery material holders access stronger global routes through a trading desk backed by RTG and powered by full digital traceability.
End-of-life battery material is valuable β but moving it is slow, fragmented and risky. RAW TG sits in the middle and fixes both sides at once.
One trusted desk between suppliers and refiners.
Holders of feedstock
Uncertain buyers and indicative interest that evaporates.
Payment on trust, often long after the material has gone.
Rejection risk that lands back on the seller.
Volumes too small or irregular to reach a Tier-1 refiner alone.
Recyclers & refiners
Consistent, graded volume matched to chemistry.
Feedstock security to plan production and utilisation around.
Material shipped direct, with full chain-of-custody.
Inspection-based settlement and clean provenance.
RAW TG sits between the two β with a secured book on both sides and a trade structure that takes the risk out of selling. See how a trade works →
Commercial pathway
Trade. Partner. Invest.
RAW TG begins with real material movement. Strategic conversations only follow where trust, volume, compliance and alignment have been proven.
01
Trade
We start with real material movement β buying, managing or routing sorted lithium-ion batteries, black mass and battery-derived materials into the best available commercial destination.
02
Partner
Once trust, volume and compliance are proven, we can explore preferred supply arrangements, strategic trading partnerships, exclusive routing agreements or deeper collaboration with recyclers and material holders.
03
Invest
Where there is strong strategic alignment, RAW TG can introduce RTG-backed discussions around investment, joint venture structures or potential acquisition.
Any partnership, investment, joint venture or acquisition discussion is subject to due diligence, board approval, commercial agreement and legal documentation. RAW TG does not guarantee investment, purchase or funding outcomes.
Self-funding & low-risk
How a trade works.
The structure is built to remove risk from upstream partners. Payment is staged against shipping milestones, and rejection liability sits with the recycler β not with RAW TG or the supplier.
80% on Bill of Lading
20% on inspection
Paid when goods are shippedBalance on confirmed inspection
Suppliers are paid the majority on shipment, not on a promise.
Rejection liability rests with the recycler under the trade terms.
Each trade is structured to fund itself, keeping it low-risk for upstream.
Feedstock secured upstream, tested and graded to chemistry.
02

Matched and shipped direct to the optimal processor.
03
80% on B/L
Majority payment released on Bill of Lading.
04

Powered by digital tracking
Every tonne tracked. Every movement documented.
RAW TG operates on our digital platform β bringing digital waste tracking, digital duty of care and auditable chain-of-custody to the heart of every trade. The platform is the digital infrastructure layer beneath the trading desk, not a separate product to operate.
Digital duty of care and waste transfer documentation
Digital waste tracking workflows from source to processor
Chain-of-custody and battery-passport-ready material journeys
Auditable movement records for international shipments

Critical minerals & circular economy
The battery materials market is scaling β and it rewards the organised.
End-of-life battery volumes are rising as the first large waves of electric vehicles, energy storage and consumer cells reach retirement. RAW TG sits inside the global critical minerals and battery recycling chain β recovering the nickel, cobalt, lithium and copper the world is racing to secure.
Demand is rising. Supply is tightening. Timing is everything.
Refining and recovery capacity is coming online to meet rising volumes, and expectations around traceability and chain-of-custody are tightening across the supply chain. Recovered battery materials are part of the wider critical minerals picture β feeding circular-economy infrastructure rather than primary extraction alone.
The winners in that market won't be the fastest talkers β they'll be the operators with contracted supply, reliable routes to market and clean, auditable records. That is precisely what RAW TG is built to be.
“A trading partner is only as good as the certainty it gives you β certainty of payment, certainty of route, and a record you can stand behind.”
