International VDI Conference - Battery Recycling

The VDI conference “Battery Recycling” will give you a comprehensive overview of the newest technical, economic and legal developments in the recycling of batteries. International experts and renowned representatives from top industry players will show you, which solutions are working successfully in practice. This knowledge will help you to gain strategic insights for your own company and develop business models.

Reuse batteries, reclaim resources

The battery market is growing rapidly. In addition to computer products, electric cars will be the key drivers of this development in the future. The need for raw materials for battery production will increase substantially, whilst the number of used products will increase as well at the same time. That’s why recycling batteries in terms of a circular economy is vital to prevent a shortage of already scarce raw materials.

At the VDI conference “Battery Recycling”, battery manufacturers, users and recycling companies will discuss possible solutions, technical innovations and new business models. Conference presentations will cover the entire life cycle of batteries – from raw material extraction to recycling. Some of the topics covered will include safety aspects when dealing with poisonous and explosive raw materials, new developments in facility construction and second use scenarios that look at the reuse of old batteries from electric cars in electricity storage systems.

The conference will look at:
