At recycling facilities, these batteries pass through several sorting stages before ending up in the ferrous metal fraction alongside other materials. Their small size, irregular shape, and mixed composition make reliable separation difficult. As a result, batteries contaminate metal streams, reduce material value, and increase fire risks during downstream processing.

The joint operation will provide services for large energy-storage and electric vehicle batteries. Its activities include transport, storage, dismantling and second-life assessment. The company states that it can process all battery chemistries.

The Micromat Series IV will be shown with a multicut rotor for processing materials such as big bags and textiles.

The combined event brings together stakeholders from the waste management, recycling, secondary raw materials and circular electronics sectors. With a single registration, visitors gain access to all four exhibitions and their associated conference programmes. Attendance for both the exhibition and conference is free of charge.

Ineos Styrolution and Amsty announce plans to construct a joint 100 ton per day facility in Channahon, Illinois, that will utilize the Agilyx advanced recycling technology to recycle post-use polystyrene products back into virgin-equivalent styrene monomer.
