Reckelberg Environmental Technologies GmbH (RET) stands as a German innovator in battery recycling and material recovery solutions. The company develops advanced technologies for processing lithium-ion batteries, focusing on efficient and environmentally responsible methods. Their expertise encompasses the entire recycling process, from battery discharge to material separation and recovery. Through their specialized technologies, RET contributes significantly to sustainable practices in the battery industry while meeting stringent European recycling standards. The company’s solutions address the growing demand for effective battery recycling, particularly as electric vehicle adoption increases and the EU implements stricter recycling quotas by 2031.
Battery Technology
RET’s technological portfolio centers on four main components that work together to create an efficient battery recycling system. Their discharge technology safely removes remaining energy from used batteries, preparing them for further processing. The company’s vacuum drying system then processes the materials under controlled conditions, ensuring optimal preparation for separation.
The cornerstone of RET’s innovation is their Impact Reactor, a mechanical separation system that achieves exceptional material purity. This technology effectively separates battery components while maintaining high recovery rates for valuable materials such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium. The system operates within a fully enclosed environment, featuring advanced exhaust gas treatment and filtration systems that ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
RET also maintains a dedicated technical facility where clients can test their materials with various processing techniques. This service allows for precise optimization of recycling parameters before implementing full-scale solutions. The company’s technologies are designed to process large volumes of batteries while maintaining consistent quality standards, making them suitable for industrial-scale applications.
Recent Projects
In a significant development, RET established a strategic partnership with tozero, combining RET’s mechanical expertise with tozero’s hydrometallurgical processes to enhance battery recycling efficiency. The company also formed a partnership with Van Dyk Recycling Solutions, expanding their presence in North America and enabling more efficient recycling of EV batteries and production scrap. These collaborations demonstrate RET’s commitment to advancing sustainable recycling solutions across global markets.
