Why Lisbon Leads in Lithium Battery Processing

Did you know that over 78% of used lithium batteries in Europe still end up in landfills? Lisbon''s innovative approach to battery recycling is changing this narrative. As global demand for lithium-ion batteries grows exponentially – projected to reach $95 billion market value by 2030 – Portugal''s capital emerges as a hub for eco-conscious energy solutions.

Key Advantages of Modern Battery Recycling

• Recovers 95%+ of critical metals (lithium, cobalt, nickel)
• Reduces CO2 emissions by 60% compared to virgin material production
• Ensures compliance with EU Battery Directive 2023/1542

The Recycling Process Demystified

Modern Lisbon facilities use a three-stage recovery system:

1. Safe discharge and dismantling
2. Mechanical separation (shredding/sorting)
3. Hydrometallurgical extraction

Material	Recovery Rate	Market Value (€/ton)
Lithium Carbonate	92%	68,000
Cobalt	96%	78,500
