EV Battery Recycling Summit Europe 2026
September 17
EV Battery Recycling Summit Europe 2026 will take place in Stuttgart, Germany, bringing together stakeholders from across the electric vehicle and battery value chain, including automotive OEMs, cell and pack manufacturers, battery recyclers, material recovery companies, technology developers, regulators, researchers, investors and sustainability professionals. The event focuses on scaling, optimizing and commercializing EV battery recycling across Europe.
The summit will examine the technical, economic and regulatory challenges shaping Europe’s battery circular economy. Discussions will cover the expansion of recycling capacity from pilot projects to industrial-scale facilities, feedstock availability, collection and take-back systems, battery design for disassembly, OEM-led closed-loop recycling and the development of resilient recycling supply chains.
Key topics include direct recycling, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and hybrid recovery systems, battery sorting and pre-treatment, automated disassembly, robotics, AI-driven process optimization, battery passports, digital traceability, second-life batteries and recovery of critical raw materials. The program will also address EU Battery Regulation compliance, extended producer responsibility, cost competitiveness and investment strategies.
The event will feature more than 40 expert-led sessions, case studies from recycling facilities and pilot projects, industry panels and networking opportunities. Participants will have opportunities to connect with senior decision-makers and technical specialists working across battery recycling, EV manufacturing, energy storage and the circular economy.
EV Battery Recycling Summit Europe 2026 is scheduled for September 17, 2026, in Stuttgart, Germany. The official website identifies Stuttgart as the host city but does not currently publish a specific venue or street address.
