All rechargeable battery market forecasts are positioning Lithium ion batteries as the major source of energy for portable electronic devices for the next 10 years.
Five years ago, Umicore battery recycling started a project in its global research and development centre in Olen (Belgium) with a dedicated project team for developing a process for the recycling of Rechargeable Lithium ion (Li-ion) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and battery packs.
The newly developed UMICORE process combined with an optimised flow sheet is proposing a closed loop solution for rechargeable lithium ion (Li-ion) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries combined with environmentally sound management of these end-of-life batteries and packs and high recycling and/or recovery rates.
