Massive transition towards electric vehicles (EV) will pose new challenges in raw material availability. The European Union approved a new regulation to encourage battery circular economy and secure battery raw materials in the EU territory. Developing EV battery recycling processes ensures sustainable material recovery and mitigates environmental impacts of the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries. This thesis underscores the importance of advancing battery recycling practices to support the transition towards sustainable mobility. The study explores key aspects of recycling strategies, focusing on Europe's market dynamics, the new EU Battery Regulation and its impact, recycling processes that are developing at industrial level and automation opportunities.
