How do we deal with batteries cost-effectively and sustainably? In the full live stream of the event, you can listen to some of the industry's leading experts who know all about battery recycling and the future of mobility.

Our new recycling facility is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in the project, from the designers and builders to the engineers and technicians who will operate the facility. We are confident that the facility will play an important role in reducing waste and promoting circularity, by processing a wide range of waste materials more efficiently and maximizing the potential for recycling and reuse.

However, we recognize that the opening of the facility is just the beginning. As a company, we are committed to promoting circularity and sustainable practices more broadly. We believe that education and awareness are essential to achieving this goal, and we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and expertise with others to promote sustainable practices more broadly.

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in everything we do, from our recycling operations to our partnerships with other organizations and stakeholders. We believe that by working together, we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
