Connecting feedstock, processes and destination records

Recycling projects need clearly defined feedstock, processing steps and output destinations.

A whole-chain focus

The 2025 task force meeting focused on production, retirement, processing and flow monitoring. The 2026 measures further clarify responsibilities. Collection quality, safety and environmental performance are useful indicators of industry development.

Engineering considerations

During project planning, connect identification, pre-treatment, disassembly, sorting and output destinations. Define inputs, outputs and record ownership at each stage. Process selection depends on actual battery structures and target fractions, supported by feedstock trials.
