We are all talking about high-end technologies for recycling plants and new technologies to gain the raw materials from the collected and processed e-waste. But what we are still lacking is a better model to increase the liability for a higher collection rate and also to ensure a secured transport of mixed household batteries. Additionally everybody is focused on the new lithium batterie stream once it is well sorted and separated. But the challenges and also innovations to get there from an undefined mixture of almost everything that looks like a batterie is a topic I shed light on in this presentation.
