1. POLICY AND MARKET
Focus on China | Power Battery Recycling Management Measures and Industry Analysis
The Interim Measures for the Recycling and Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Power Batteries from New Energy Vehicles, effective from April 1, 2026, includes key points such as the "vehicle-battery integrated scrapping" system, the power battery "Digital ID", and the recycling responsibilities of "White List" enterprises. How can the entire industry chain ensure rapid response and compliant operations?
* Invited Institution Type: Relevant Chinese Government Agencies
Looking at the EU | Carbon Footprint and Battery Passport
Compliance practices for EV battery carbon footprint declaration requirements under the EU's Batteries and Waste Batteries Regulation (EU 2023/1542), which took effect in 2025. A look ahead to the Battery Passport and removability requirements to be implemented in 2027, and the compliance strategies for the Chinese battery industry chain going global.
* Invited Institution Type: EU Official Bodies or Third-Party Organizations
2. TECHNOLOGY PATHWAYS
OEM Perspective | Battery Full Lifecycle Management Practice
How automotive OEMs build full lifecycle management systems, implement Design for Disassembly (DfD), and establish targeted recycling networks in collaboration with recycling enterprises.
* Invited Institution Type: Automotive OEMs
OEM-Battery Manufacturer Collaboration | Integrated Recycling Networks and Digital Traceability Systems
OEMs control the source of retired batteries; battery manufacturers control the technology and production capacity. How can the barriers between the two be broken down? Through targeted recycling agreements, digital traceability platforms, and co-built collection networks, a closed industrial loop of "vehicle-end collection – battery plant dismantling – recycled material feedback" can be established.
* Invited Institution Type: Automotive OEMs or Battery Manufacturers
Battery Manufacturer Perspective | Design for Recycling (DfR) Solutions for CTP/CTC Battery Packs
How to balance recycling efficiency at the design stage and achieve high-performance applications of recycled nickel, cobalt, manganese, and lithium materials in new batteries.
* Invited Institution Type: Battery Manufacturers
Recycling Technology | Intelligent Dismantling and Pathways to Scale
Key technologies and equipment for automated dismantling, hydrometallurgical/pyrometallurgical processes, and capacity expansion.
* Invited Institution Type: Recycling & Regeneration Process Equipment Suppliers
Material Regeneration | High-Efficiency Recovery and High-Value Utilization of Lithium/Nickel/Cobalt
High-value regeneration and application of recycled materials: from black mass to cathode materials, purity control and performance benchmarking of recycled lithium, nickel, and cobalt, and application cases in batteries.
* Invited Institution Type: Recycling & Regeneration Material Suppliers
3. BUSINESS MODELS
Industry Dialogue | How to Make Battery Recycling a Sustainable Business
How can OEMs and battery manufacturers turn policy compliance into long-term cost advantages? How can dismantling/recycling companies consistently secure a supply of high-quality batteries and achieve scale? How do financial institutions assess the cash flow and risks of recycling projects?
* Invited Institution Type: Leading Automotive OEMs, Battery Manufacturers, Dismantling/Recycling Enterprises, Financial Institutions
