The company’s work is supported by its own research & development (R&D) team.

Since the start of the year, ERP Italia Servizi is engaged in three significant, European Union funded projects to improve battery recycling.

Here is an overview of the three projects:

Automat

ERP Italia Servizi is coordinating this 36-month project, which involves 14 partners from six EU member states.

The aim of the project is to develop safe and high value-added recycling technologies for the disassembly, sorting and reuse of batteries and devices with embedded batteries.

BatMass

ERP Italia Servizi is one of the main supporters of this 30-month project, which involves 16 partners.

The aim of the project is to create “the first tangible European circular battery valley” by providing secure and digitised solutions for the closed-loop transport, tracking, dismantling, reuse, recycling and remanufacturing of batteries.

RENOVATE

This 36-month project involves 14 partners and aims to develop new recycling technologies that can be extended to lithium iron phosphate batteries and post-lithium batteries, such as sodium-ion and solid-state batteries.

The overall aim is to promote a closed-loop approach that can reduce battery waste to landfill.

ERP Italia Servizi invests in R&D to boost the circular economy and improve the solutions that it offers customers.
