Development of technologies to achieve sustainable and efficient processes for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FREE4LIB<\/strong> project aims to develop 6 sustainable and efficient processes for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries<\/strong> at the end of their useful life, thanks to the creation of technologies with a technology readiness level (TRL) between 5 and 6.<\/p>\n

These 6 processes are dismantling, pre-treatment and 4 other material recovery processes<\/strong>. All of them deliver highly innovative recycling solutions, reaching high efficiency in the recovery of materials and improving the supply of secondary resources at European Union level.<\/p>\n

FREE4LIB will also offer technologies to improve 3 processes that aim at the reuse of metals and polymers and the synthesis of electrodes<\/strong> in the same value chain as secondary raw materials for the remanufacturing of greener batteries.<\/p>\n

The project will also study options to harness non-reusable elements in other fields<\/strong> and will deliver a methodology based on Battery Passport principles to improve process traceability.<\/p>\n

Eurecat participates in the FREE4LIB project through different Technology Units, in charge of different objectives:<\/p>\n
