The SEPAR8 program consists of a series of projects supporting our development, which began in September 2022 with the EF-SEPAR8 project (feasibility study). The SEPAR8 Process project represents a decisive step towards covering the entire battery recycling process.
FUNDERS
Project financed by the Région-Hauts-de-France through the Just Transition Fund (FTJ)
This program aims to cover the entire recycling process, from the collection of used batteries to the manufacture of new cells incorporating recycled materials, as well as the creation of a short loop for the production of second-life cells or batteries.
The main aim of this project is to remove the scientific and technical obstacles to the transposition of the SEPAR8 recycling process to pilot scale.
The process comprises three main stages: battery dismantling and diagnosis (in partnership with VoltR), component crushing and sorting (carried out by MTB) and hydrometallurgy for metal extraction, developed by Mecaware.
This project is carried out in collaboration with:
The next key milestone will be the construction of the SEPAR8 semi-industrial unit, which will take shape as part of a subsequent "SEPAR8 Pilot" project.
