Several EU funded projects were clustering together on the 14th of November 2022 at the Raw Materials Week in Brussels to present their objectives and activities related to the recovery and production of raw materials for battery applications from European resources. The clustering event was open for anyone interested in learning about the key activities in this field. Topics covered by those projects ranged from EV batteries dismantling and reuse, to the recovery of materials such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, lithium and others from secondary as well as primary resources available in Europe.

This clustering event was organised by the CROCODILERHINOCEROS and LICORNE EU-funded projects with the participation of the BATRAWRESPECTRELiEF, FREE4LIBand ENICON EU-funded projects.

These projects represent an emerging innovation ecosystem in Europe which encompasses nearly 100 organizations driving the recycling of batteries and the production of raw materials for battery applications from primary and secondary resources available in Europe.
