ABOUT

TLEA needed an introduction to their lithium processing plant — a clear look at what the facility does and how it works. We built a film around their processing capability and a part of the operation that sets it apart: turning what would otherwise be waste into usable co-products.

APPROACH

We filmed across the plant to show the process end to end, from raw material through to finished product. Alongside the core processing story, we gave weight to the co-product development, capturing how material that was once waste is recovered and put to use, and why that matters to the future of lithium mining.

IMPACT

The film gives Tianqi a clear, credible introduction to the plant that speaks to both capability and efficiency. By showing the processing alongside the co-product recovery, it positions the facility as more than a single-output operation — a plant getting more value from every tonne, with less waste.

Let’s create something worth watching.
