How RISBAT works
1) Collection & Sorting
EV/LMT & stationary batteries safely collected; digitally-assisted sorting prepares mixed NMC/LFP streams.
2) Robotic Disassembly
Automated casing unscrewing/opening; modules isolated for test or reuse; risks minimized.
3) Reuse Evaluation
dQ/dV, high-precision coulometry & AI/BMS analytics identify second-life candidates.
4) Pre-treatment for safe recycling & recovery
Mechanical pre-treatment; safer routes to battery-grade secondary materials.
Who benefits
Recyclers & Smelters
Higher-purity, pre-treated inputs; safer, more efficient downstream processing.
EPR Schemes & Collectors
Standardised intake, packaging and transport protocols across RIS countries.
Manufacturers
Access to quality secondary materials and certified second-life modules.
Research & Policy
Blueprints, KPIs & training to scale safe reuse under EU Battery Regulation.
