Electric vehicle batteries mostly end up at scrapyards or in private households after they have been used in the vehicle. This results in lost traceability as well as trapped potential sustainable energy and critical raw material soon worth billions of euros. At the same time, recycling companies are scavenging for batteries. Basically, batteries don’t find their way to repurposing or recycling.
Cling Systems is solving the is issue by developing the first b2b market platform that allows responsible reuse and recycling at scale. We work closely with the industry, developing the standard for end-of-life treatment.
And imagine, if we couple each battery with its material content and allow battery manufacturers source raw material from used batteries, we’ve developed the world’s first online mine.
