The current EU Battery Regulation prescribes ambitious recycling quotas. However, the key prerequisites for efficient battery recycling are intelligent recycling processes, reliable assessment, and high-quality processing of recycled materials from lithium-ion batteries. With the SHERLOCK project, a research initiative is starting to tackle these challenges—another building block on the path toward an economic and sustainable circular economy for batteries.
