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