(CercleFinance.com) – BASF has successfully commissioned its metal refinery plant for battery recycling in Schwarzheide, Germany.
This plant helps optimize innovative battery recycling technology, processing end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery production waste.
This will facilitate optimal recovery of precious metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper when scaling up the technology.
The metal refinery prototype is a new step in the construction of Europe’s first battery material production and battery recycling center in Schwarzheide.
“With the expected rapid growth of the electric vehicle market, battery recycling provides competitive and sustainable access to critical metals,” said Dr. Daniel Schönfelder, President of BASF’s Catalysts Division.
‘We will use the mined metals to establish a truly local circular economy for the battery value chain.’
