Objectives

To boost the green transition, the availability of critical raw materials needs to be ensured. The battery sector has been experiencing increasing demand for raw materials for years and is vulnerable for supply risks. Various strategies are being pursued to meet the growing demand for critical raw materials and to build up viable, sustainable and innovative value chains. Waste valorization by recovery and recycling plays a central role.

METALLICO will:

Recover valuable materials from primary and secondary resources

Demonstrate sustainable production and recovery of (critical) battery metals

Assess end-use of the recovered (critical) battery metals

Identify and characterize (critical) battery metals with innovative technologies

Enable social participation, stakeholder engagement and networking

Processes ready for scaling

29 January, 2025

On 23 January, we had a productive meeting with our Project Officer to update the European Commission on the status of the METALLICO pilots and our scaling-up plans.

We are at a critical point in the project, as the scaling-up phase is about to begin. It’s essential to have everything under control to ensure a smooth transition. During the meeting, each case study leader presented the work achieved in recent months and outlined the plans for the upcoming phase.

The outcome? Great news! The processes are ready for scaling!
