Project description

Lithium metal has been in high demand. Now more so than ever with the increasing popularity of e-mobility. Despite lithium recycling being an established process, an estimated 27% of the current global lithium production still turns into waste.

RELiEF sets out with the clear goal of reducing lithium waste by more than 70% through the use of previously unused secondary lithium sources.

Avesta's role

  • ABEE, as coordinator, is involved in the project management of RELiEF (WP1) providing a clear organizational framework throughout the project. It is also the lead beneficiary of one of the work packages (WP3) related to the pre-processing of input solid material to remove hazardous factors providing suitable material for subsequent extraction processes. Furthermore, ABEE takes part and leads various tasks across all work packages from the beginning (WP1) to the end (WP9) of RELiEF.
