Efficient Direct Recycling
for Low-Value LFP Battery
for Circular and Sustainable
Waste Management

ABOUT

The ReUse project investigates and develops novel processes for the direct recycling of LFP-based LiBs and their production waste. The recycling concept will be widely applicable to upcoming and future low-cost battery technologies.

COMING SOON
FUNDING

The ReUse project is co-funded by the European Union and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
With an EU contribution of 4 927 664,93 €.
