ReUse at Battery 2030+ Workshop on Recycling
The ReUse project recently participated in the Battery 2030+ Workshop on Recycling and the Young Scientists Hackathon, a key event aimed at fostering innovation and collaboration in the field of battery sustainability. The event brought together experts from academia, research institutions, and industry to discuss the latest advancements in battery recycling, with a particular focus on EU-funded projects driving progress in this area.
Guinevere Giffin from Fraunhofer ISC, representing both Battery 2030+ and the ReUse project, played a significant role in organizing and moderating the event. She led the session on EU project presentations and facilitated the panel discussion, ensuring an engaging dialogue between key stakeholders. Additionally, Andreas Flegler, also from Fraunhofer ISC presented the ReUse project, highlighting its innovative approach to battery materials recovery and circular economy strategies. He also contributed to the panel discussion, sharing insights on how ReUse is addressing the challenges of sustainable battery recycling.
The workshop provided a platform for knowledge exchange, with presentations from leading experts on cutting-edge recycling technologies, policy frameworks, and industrial applications. Discussions emphasized the importance of collaborative research in accelerating Europe’s transition to a more sustainable battery value chain.
Following the morning’s presentations and discussions, the Young Scientists Hackathon challenged participants to develop and pitch innovative solutions for battery recycling. This interactive session encouraged early-career researchers to think creatively and propose new approaches to pressing sustainability issues.
By engaging in this workshop and hackathon, the ReUse project reinforced its commitment to advancing battery recycling technologies and supporting the next generation of researchers in the field. The event underscored the crucial role of collaboration in achieving Europe’s ambitious sustainability goals and ensuring a circular future for battery technologies.
