Novocycle Technologies is sustaining the battery value chain by introducing top-edge solutions like the chemical and waste free lithium ion battery recycling solution NovoRec that recovers highly pure and reusable cathode and anode active materials in a closed loop Direct Recycling approach. The outstanding recycling process based on dismantling and disassembly recovers up to 96% of all implemented materials of a battery and is suitable for any lithium ion battery chemistry and shape. This smart recycling process enables the decentralization and localization of recycling activities and establishes local and national material streams that are pivotal to the battery value chain.
