Closing the Loop: Reverse Logistics for Batteries in Europe

Event details

About BatteReverse

BatteReverse is an EU-funded project enabling the next-generation of automated, connected, and standardised Li-ion battery reverse logistics processes. In the third networking event of the series, you will dive into the world of battery dismantling.

About the event

As Europe accelerates its transition to electric mobility, building an efficient, safe, and circular reverse logistics chain for batteries has become one of the sector’s greatest challenges, and opportunities. Coordinating collection, transport, storage, and recycling across borders requires not only technological innovation but also cross-sector collaboration between automotive manufacturers, logistics providers, recyclers, and compliance schemes.

This webinar brings together leading European experts to discuss how the continent can connect the missing links of battery reverse logistics. Drawing from real-world battery circularity projects such as BatteReverseREBELIONREINFORCE, and RECIRCULATE, the discussion will highlight solutions being tested across Europe, lessons learned, and the steps needed to scale circular systems for end-of-life batteries.

Drawing on European research and local practice, speakers will discuss how to bridge social, spatial, and economic inequalities through inclusive planning, service innovation, and better governance. The session will bring together researchers and practitioners to highlight strategies that make public transport not just a service, but a shared social right.

What to expect:

  • Insights from leading European actors developing and testing reverse logistics solutions for end-of-life batteries.
  • Real examples of how the automotive, logistics, and recycling industries are working together to make the battery value chain circular.
  • Discussion on safety standards, regulatory alignment, and cross-border transport of lithium-ion batteries.
  • Lessons learned from EU-funded projects driving innovation in the field of battery reverse logistics.
