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.
