European Lithium forges recycling partnership
<![CDATA[

Austria-based European Lithium Ltd. says its operating arm and 100 percent-owned subsidiary ECM Lithium AT GmbH has “become the industrial partner for a research project developing closed loop recycling for lithium-ion batteries, managed by a research group at the University of Graz in Austria.”

European Lithium is in what it calls the final stages of a resource extension drilling program at its Wolfsberg Lithium Project near that Austrian town, entailing “the finalization of the definitive feasibility study, which includes the metallurgical analysis of the proposed production process.”

The company, via that project, says it “aims to be the first operational European producer of lithium products for supply to the domestic battery market.” European Lithium adds, “To meet estimated demand for battery grade lithium in the future, and meet the need for sustainable green operations, it is crucial to ensure that electric vehicle (EV) batteries are recycled.”

 Adds the company, “There is a logical connection between recycling and mining in the form of closed loop recycling.”

Comments European Lithium CEO Dietrich Wanke, “It is a pleasure to be chosen as partner to this research project. With our knowledge regarding the chemical, technical and metallurgical procedures, it becomes an important strategic step to support the development of Wolfsberg. Furthermore, we are looking forward to working on a collaboration that is aligned with the ambitious European Green Deal targets for lithium-ion batteries. We are very pleased to support the research project’s and are very confident of its success.”
