New battery recycling laboratory opens in Biel
Published
The Japanese company Green Science Alliance has opened a new laboratory for battery recycling in the Swiss city of Biel. The project aims to reprocess cathode material from old batteries directly on-site and make it reusable.
The company's technology makes it possible to recover valuable materials from used batteries. According to initial test results, batteries recycled using this process regain over 90 percent of their original capacity. This is an important advance for the efficiency of energy storage systems.
The Biel location was chosen deliberately, as Switzerland is considered an important hub for technological innovation in Europe. By recycling materials locally, the company aims to reduce the ecological footprint of battery production and decrease dependence on new raw materials.
The opening of the laboratory is a significant step for the circular economy in Switzerland. Experts hope that this new method will help to meet the growing demand for batteries for electric vehicles and other devices in a more sustainable way.
