Introducing CellCircle

Introducing ReUse consortium member - CellCircle.

CellCircle’s mission is to create a sustainable circular economy for battery cells. The German start-up develops innovative battery recycling processes to recover the functional materials of Li-ion batteries in high purity for direct reuse. Benefits are closed material loops, low energy demands and significantly reduced carbon footprints.

The new CellCircle recycling approach has been successfully validated by the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation SPRIND and can be used for current and future battery technologies. This work is complemented by CellCircle’s engagement for an improved life cycle assessment to better distinguish green solutions from standard processes. 

In the ReUse project, CellCircle:

• Leads the work package 4 on life cycle sustainability analysis.

• Supports the synergetic clustering with other projects.

• Performs electrode delamination tests.

• Contributes to the conception and evaluation within the different technical work packages.
