Automated soRting and safE pre-procesSing of EoL BaTteries with nOvel smart and fast dismantling, and sepaRation technolgies for direct reuse of high purity materials in Energy storage application
RESTORE is set to address the most pressing issues faced by recycling companies. It aims to enhance the efficiency, safety, speed, environmental footprint and cost of pre-processing operations, while targeting the recovery of all battery materials at high purity levels. The project’s concept is based on three building blocks, which will allow the reinjection of the recovered materials directly into the battery production chain .
Improve upstream processes for the sorting of batteries and the liberation of non-battery materials from EV battery packs
Optimise pre-processing of battery materials to effectively separate active and non-active materials
Improve downstream process to separate efficiently all battery materials and refine them to battery-grade standards
Together with major battery recycling players from industry and academia, we’re creating flexible, eco-friendly processes to turn worn-out EV and domestic Lithium-ion batteries into high-quality materials, moreover, revolutionising battery recycling towards resilient, competitive and fit green-digital European economy.
