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.

Register now: METALLICO Webinar on "How to Solve Industry Challenges with Recovered Materials from METALLICO? – Results from research to practice"
20 August, 2026
In the next issue of our METALLICO Webinar Series, we will discuss what different industries need and expect from recovered materials, share key laboratory test results and explain how the project is tackling the specific challenges that arise in each application. We will also look at external enablers that can reduce barriers and support real-world uptake of recovered (critical) raw materials.
E-Newsletter #4 out now!
18 June, 2026
The 4th METALLICO e-newsletter is out now and packed with news from the project! All the pilot plants where the five innovative processes are being tested are now up and running. In this edition of the newsletter, you can find out more about the current status of each pilot plant. In addition, work is progressing on the ‘Battery Metals Inventory’. This is a tool designed to gather key information about resources that may contain valuable metals for batteries. You can also look forward to new podcast episodes, our videos from the METALLICO webinar series, and further articles and announcements from the project!
