Cooperation with the RESTORE Project

In a major step toward building a more circular and sustainable battery ecosystem in Europe, two EU-funded projects — ReUse and RESTORE — have formed a strategic collaboration. This partnership brings together advanced expertise in battery reuse, automated dismantling, and material recovery, setting a new standard for responsible battery lifecycle management.

At the core of both projects is a mission to improve the efficiency, safety, and environmental performance of battery handling and recycling.

• ReUse is focused on extending the life of low-value LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries through smart identification, testing, and direct reuse.

• RESTORE aims to revolutionize the pre-processing of end-of-life (EoL) batteries using automated sorting, fast dismantling, and high-purity material separation — enabling direct reintegration into battery production.

Together, they address both sides of the battery circularity challenge: RESTORE handles the safe, clean, and efficient breakdown of batteries, while ReUse ensures valuable materials and components are brought back into use.

By aligning their approaches, ReUse and RESTORE:

• Minimize waste and reduce Europe's dependence on critical raw materials,

• Lower the environmental footprint of battery production,

• And strengthen Europe's position in the global energy transition.

As both projects continue to evolve, this partnership offers a powerful model for future collaboration across sustainability-driven initiatives, where shared goals and technical synergy lead to greater impact.
