Vianode has launched the first high-performance solution based on recycled graphite as part of its next-generation material series. The product is based on recycled battery-grade graphite and designed to meet growing demand for sustainable electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturing.
-
To meet the legal requirements for the recycled content of nickel, cobalt, and lithium in new batteries, Duesenfeld has developed a sustainable recycling process to counteract the increasing quantities of waste from battery production, especially electrode scrap.
-
The change to the list, which provides common terminology for classifying waste across the EU, is intended to pave the way for a more sustainable and innovative automotive sector.
-
Watercycle Technologies has entered into a cooperation agreement with Primobius. As a joint venture, Primobius combines the process capabilities of Neometals Ltd and SMS group’s engineering expertise.
-
Tozero has achieved a major breakthrough by producing battery-grade recycled graphite at industrial scale. For the first time, this 100% recycled anode material has been successfully used in battery cell production, proving its viability for commercial applications.
-
SK tes has announced a strategic partnership with the BMW Group.
-
The METALLON Project investigates new recycling techniques with a lower environmental impact for these batteries, which are commonly used in electronic devices and electric mobility.
-
Following the publication of its ‘An EPR of Everything, Starting with Batteries’ white paper, CIWM has called for extended producer responsibility (EPR) for batteries (and products containing batteries) and a targeted deposit return scheme (DRS).
-
A team of scientists has been looking at what effects different strategies for achieving a circular economy with lithium, cobalt and nickel for electric vehicles will have on the demand for materials in Europe. Their conclusion: eleven mines and 57 recycling plants fewer could be needed.
-
BASF and WHW Recycling GmbH have entered an agreement on the processing of cathode and anode waste.
