The first "Conference on Battery Direct Recycling" took place at the Congress Centrum CCW in Würzburg from 29 to 30 October 2024. More than 150 participants from research and industry travelled to Lower Franconia to exchange ideas on the direct recycling of batteries and thus contributed to the start of a direct recycling battery community.
This second edition of the conference looks to delve further into the many aspects of direct recycling through your contributions. This call for abstracts is looking for submissions related to the direct recycling of battery technologies in four thematic areas. For submissions that do not fit into one of these categories, please contact the scientific board.
1. Policy and Market
2. Direct Recycling Methods and Processes – Includes subtopics such as:
• Discharge and disassembly
• Delamination, deagglomeration and classification
• Regeneration and upgrading
• Reintegration of recovered materials (also as blends)
• Recovery and reuse of inactive materials
• Recycling of next-generation components and battery technologies
• Valorization of black mass using direct recycling processes
3. Sustainability and Digitalization – Includes subtopics such as:
• LCA, LCC, social LCA, …
• Digitalization and Automation of Direct Recycling processes
• Battery Passport
4. Design for Circularity – Includes the development and implementation of design strategies on both the cell and pack level to facilitate a circular value chain (Design for recycling, Design for Second Life, Design for X)
Contributions of both oral and poster presentations are welcome from researchers at all levels. Contributions will be selected by the conference board on the basis of the originality of the research, the level of results indicated in the abstract, and the relevance for the field of Direct Battery Recycling.
Deadlines for Abstract Submission:
Oral presentations: August 31, 2025. Notification of acceptance of oral presentations by mid-October.
Posters: August 31, 2025; November 30, 2025. Notification of acceptance by mid-October.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
