Description

AutoMat is a Horizon Europe-funded project addressing the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the production, storage, and consumption of critical raw materials (CRMs). The project aims to introduce high-value recycling technologies for batteries and electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) components. It integrates collaborative-adaptive disassembly, sorting, and material recovery technologies, enabling reuse and production of new market-ready products. AutoMat also focuses on digital solutions to improve collection, processing, and recycling operations by providing real-time, predictive information, aiming to reduce waste and improve the efficiency of recycling operations.

Objective(s)

  1. Develop advanced circular solutions for batteries and EEE components.
  2. Implement digital platforms to support sustainable and efficient collection, sorting, and recycling processes.
  3. Deliver new recycling technologies that reduce the environmental footprint of CRMs.
  4. Provide digital passports for second-life applications, contributing to the green and digital transitions in the EU.
