Botree Cycling was founded with the aim of providing a full solution for the recycling of critical battery materials. Through the innovation of separation system and intelligent equipment, Botree Cycling enables recycle enterprises, electric vehicle enterprises, battery manufacturers and other entities responsible for recycling to realize short, closed and sustainable cycle of battery materials.

Based on long-term researches on battery materials preparation, critical metal separation and purification, extractant synthesis and carbon footprint assessment, Botree Cycling has completed the industrial and large-scale application for Li-ion batteries recycling from mechanical size reduction, hydrometallurgical recycling to material regeneration. Moreover, we have developed recycling processes for hydrogen fuel cells and solid-state batteries, as well as a novel short separation process for laterite nickel ore, and established a complete life cycle assessment (LCA) system for EV batteries complying with international standards.

Botree Cycling provides industrial and technical consulting, intelligent mobile recycling equipment (500-5,000 tons battery packs/year) and large-scale engineering recycling facilities (10,000-100,000 tons battery packs/year) design and installation. We also help our customer build a complete system for responsible sourcing, life cycle assessment, carbon emission reduction and IREC renewable energy certificate trading. Botree Cycling has already established a solid customer base, among which nearly 10 are the world’s top 500 companies in the new energy fields. By recycling of critical battery materials and supporting circular design of next generation batteries, Botree Cycling is working with the entire industry chain to build a truly sustainable and carbon-neutral future.

Duesenfeld – Licensing ecofriendly lithium-ion battery recycling

Duesenfeld is a pioneer in the recycling of lithium-ion batteries and has developed processes that do not require the batteries to be smelted or treated at high temperatures. Since the beginning, our processes have focused on being environmentally friendly, avoiding CO2 and achieving the highest recycling efficiency.

Low energy recycling process

The Duesenfeld process with mechanical shredding of the batteries and further hydrometallurgical processing of the black mass is a low temperature process. During mechanical shredding and inactivation of the batteries, the drying process takes place below 80°C and at a very low vacuum. Only under these conditions is no exhaust gas scrubbing necessary. Only in this temperature range can also the solvents of the electrolyte, the graphite and the lithium be recovered in a purity so that it can be reused. Through this technology, Duesenfeld combines environmental friendliness with maximum economic efficiency.

Higher added value through higher Recycling Efficiency

With a 91% recycling rate at battery cell level, the Duesenfeld process is the leader in the recycling market. In this process, the active materials are reprocessed to such a high degree of purity that they can directly find a new use in industry. During mechanical processing, no additives are added to the process that interfere later in the process.

Licensing of the Duesenfeld processes for ecofriendly recycling

Duesenfeld recycles batteries on an industrial scale to realise industry-related research and development in order to be able to map future trends at an early stage. Duesenfeld is not a plant manufacturer. Our business is the licensing of our processes and patents. Our licensing partners are car manufacturers, battery manufacturers, chemical companies, automotive suppliers and recycling companies. Together with our cooperation partners from the plant manufacturing industry, turnkey plants for ecofriendly lithium-ion battery recycling are realised for our customers using the Duesenfeld process.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
