From waste to value: How Europe can capture the recycling opportunity

In this webinar, T&E marks the publication of its new study, From Waste to Value: Why battery recycling is Europe’s chance for resource sufficiency and a low-impact supply chain.
As Europe transitions to electrified transport and grapples with the challenge of securing a sustainable and resilient supply of critical minerals, battery recycling offers a unique opportunity to source key materials locally and reduce reliance on primary mining. This is especially crucial as electric vehicle stock increases and gigafactories scale up across the continent.
T&E's senior director Julia Poliscanova outlines the report's key findings as well as what Europe should do to capture the resilience and sustainability potential of battery recycling. The webinar includes a Q&A with Ruth Lambrechts, Director of Government Affairs at Umicore, about the challenges and policy opportunities.
