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:

Icon Resources
Recover valuable materials from primary and secondary resources
Icon Resources
Demonstrate sustainable production and recovery of (critical) battery metals
Icon Resources
Assess end-use of the recovered (critical) battery metals
Icon Resources
Identify and characterize (critical) battery metals with innovative technologies
Icon Resources
Enable social participation, stakeholder engagement and networking

METALLICO M36 Meeting in Vitoria-Gasteiz

2 December, 2025

On 25 and 26 November, 2025, the METALLICO Consortium met in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain). The meting marked 36 months of METALLICO!

It was great to discuss the work done in the last six months and to allign the next steps. The meeting was also an opportunity to connect further with the project partners and to strenghten collaboration. The meeting was organised by our partners from CIC energiGUNE. Thanks to Néstor Antuñano Martín and the whole team for welcoming us and also showing us around in your labs. It was a pleasure.

METALLICO Webinar Series: How can LCA Support Innovation in Minerals and Metals Production at Mid/Low-TRL?

Examples from European Projects working at Mid/Low Technology Readiness Level

8 October, 2025

This workshop will examine how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can support emerging processes in minerals and metals production at mid/low Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 4 - 7). Conducting LCAs for lab or pilot scale processes presents unique challenges, from data gaps and high uncertainty to the difficulty of scaling-up results to industrial applications. Drawing on examples from Horizon Europe projects, the session will highlight how these challenges are being addressed and how early-stage LCAs can provide valuable insights to guide process development, scale-up, and decision-making.
