Mercedes-Benz opens EV battery recycling plant
Briefly

"Mercedes-Benz has set itself the goal of building the most desirable cars in a sustainable way. As a pioneer in automotive engineering, Europe's first integrated mechanical-hydrometallurgical battery recycling factory marks a key milestone toward enhancing raw-materials sustainability."
"The plant, which is located in Kuppenheim, Germany, shreds the battery modules then uses a mechanical process to separate plastics, copper, aluminum, and iron."
"Automakers are increasingly interested in closing the loop on EV batteries, particularly given concerns about ethical sourcing of some of the minerals and a desire for more resilient regional supply chains."
"Together with our partners from industry and science, we are sending a strong signal of innovative strength for sustainable electric mobility and value creation in Germany and Europe."
