2nd Conference on Battery Direct Recycling 2026

Direct recycling has the potential to play a key role in battery recycling in the future. As a complementary method to the more established recycling routes, direct recycling can contribute to the improved sustainability of the battery value chain and to enable the formation of a circular economy.

The first „Conference on Battery Direct Recycling“ took place at the Congress Centrum CCW in Würzburg from 29 to 30 October 2024. More than 150 participants from research and industry travelled to Lower Franconia to exchange ideas on the direct recycling of batteries and thus contributed to the start of a direct recycling battery community.
