BASF and Stena Recycling partner to establish electric vehicle battery recycling value chain
BASF and Stena Recycling have partnered to establish a battery recycling value chain for the European electric vehicle (EV) battery market. The collaboration aims to develop improved black mass production processes to achieve high recovery rates for metals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, supporting closed-loop solutions. Stena Recycling will collect end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery production scrap, producing black mass at its Swedish location. BASF will further process the black mass at its prototype metal refinery in Germany and plans to scale up with a commercial-scale battery recycling metal refinery capable of handling 15,000 tons of EV batteries and production scrap annually.
