Battery Disassembly Process Improves EV Recycling Efforts
CHEMNITZ, Germany—Engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (IWU) here have developed a new way to recycle batteries and other car parts.
The EKODA project, which focuses on disassembly processes and technology, carefully examines each component during a complex testing procedure. Then, an evaluation system generates recommendations for how these components could be reused. This strategy optimizes the lifespan of the individual parts, making it possible to establish a sustainable circular economy in the mobility sector.
