How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

Based on our precious metals recycling, we pioneered industrial-scale battery recycling in 2011 in Belgium. Second, the use of renewable electricity. Production at every single battery materials plant that we’re starting up will be powered by 100% renewable energy sources from day one. Third is the choice of raw materials.
