Expected Outcome

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• Achieving the objectives of the Circular Economy Action Plan by enabling second life of batteries and increasing rates for recycling and recovery, in line with upcoming regulatory requirements.
• Revolutionize and re-freshen recycling industry, by applying best-in-world innovations based on automatisation, efficiency and sustainability.
• Create new circular business models, such as second life, to reduce the need for primary raw materials, and to maximize the use of battery cells reducing the cost per cycle.
• Develop a community for actors involved in the management of the recycling value chain for batteries (including second life) for sharing best practices (health and safety, transport, dismantling, refurbishing, recycling).
• Improve safety, through automatisation and reducing accidents.
