The global EV market is growing rapidly, while at the same time posing a waste disposal challenge. After 10-15 years of service, EV batteries typically retain only 70 – 80% of their original capacity. By 2040, an estimated 14 million light- and heavy-duty EV battery packs will reach their end-of-life annually. This creates an urgent… Read more: What is the Recirculate project?

RECIRCULATE project officially started on May 1, 2023. The project kick-off meeting took place in Helsinki, Finland on June 1, 2023. The European Union has financed €4.9 million for the RECIRCULATE project, which will address the most pressing challenges in the European battery recycling sector and battery materials logistics. The main goal of the project… Read more: RECIRCULATE Project is Live!
