Company Synopsis

Barr Engineering Co. (Barr) has nearly four decades of experience supporting battery recycling and energy‑storage projects across North America. We apply an integrated engineering and environmental approach that helps clients navigate the full battery lifecycle—from mining and mineral processing to lead‑acid and lithium‑ion recycling. Our work spans site development, process design, material handling, wastewater treatment, environmental permitting, waste‑stream characterization, and industrial facility design, giving us deep insight into the technical and regulatory challenges facing today’s recyclers.

As demand for electric vehicles and energy storage accelerates, Barr helps clients leverage market growth, new incentives, and increasing investment in recycling infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary teams deliver practical, sustainable solutions that support safe, efficient, and compliant battery‑recycling systems.

Founded in 1966, Barr is an employee-owned engineering and environmental consulting firm with more than 1,100 engineers, scientists, and technical specialists. From offices across North America, we partner with public and private clients to develop, manage, and restore natural resources — bringing collaborative, outcomes‑focused problem solving to every project.
