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.
