Circular Materials at ICBR 2023: Driving the future of battery recycling.

Environmental Impact

Circular Materials is pleased to announce that our CEO, Marco Bersani, recently attended the International Congress of Battery Recycling (ICBR) 2023. This prestigious event serves as a key platform for global experts to come together and explore the evolving landscape of the battery recycling industry. consumption.

One of the highlights of Marco’s attendance was his participation in the workshop entitled “Black Mass Recycling and Critical Raw Materials“.

This session provided an in-depth examination of the impact of the new Battery Regulation on black mass recycling – a crucial area for the recovery of critical raw materials from spent batteries.

The workshop covered several critical aspects:

  • The feasibility and implications of hazardous waste classification: understanding the impact of waste classification on recycling processes.
  • Technological challenges: identifying and overcoming barriers to achieving ambitious recycling targets.
  • Quality criteria for End-of-Waste classification: setting standards to ensure recycled materials meet the required quality benchmarks.

Black-mass recycling presents significant challenges but is essential for the efficient recovery of valuable materials from batteries. At Circular Materials, we are committed to developing innovative technologies and processes to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of black-mass recycling.

Inspired by the findings of ICBR 2023, we are increasing our focus on advancing technologies specifically tailored to the black mass recycling value chain. Since 2022, we have been working closely with European partners to refine and scale our technology, preparing it for wider deployment in the near future.

We invite you to follow our journey as we work towards a more sustainable future for the battery recycling industry. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from Circular Materials.
