Leitat is excited to present its coordination of two impactful EU-funded projects, BATRAW and ReLeaf, at the 12th Spanish Conference on R&D in European Programs, organized by the CDTI (Center for the Development of Industrial Technology) and hosted at the “Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos” of Oviedo. This event brings together industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers mainly from across Spain, focusing on advancing Spain’s role in EU R&D and bolstering sustainability, innovation, and circular economy goals.
Leitat’s BATRAW and ReLeaf projects highlight the organization’s commitment to sustainable innovation:
- BATRAW tackles the urgent need for sustainable recycling of lithium-ion batteries, which are vital for electric vehicles and electronic devices. Through advanced disassembly techniques and raw material recovery, BATRAW aims to close the loop on battery production, aligning with Europe’s circular economy ambitions.
- ReLeaf will create essential bio-based fertilizers (BBF) from common European waste streams to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and petroleum-based resources in fertiliser production. The project will assess the effectiveness of the BBFs produced in different climate and soil conditions.
