As an industrial company, you want to carry out a battery shredded material study
What is battery shredded material?
Battery shredded material is the result of a crushing process applied to used batteries. Typically lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in a wide range of applications, from portable electronic devices to electric vehicles. This process is part of battery recycling steps, aimed at separating and recovering the valuable materials they contain, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other metals.
Why reduce batteries to shredded material?
Battery shredding aims to reduce the size of batteries to make them easier to handle and process further. After shredding, the resulting mixture is subjected to various separation techniques and chemical or thermal treatment to isolate the different recyclable components. This process helps reduce the environmental impact of used batteries by preventing landfill disposal and enabling the recovery of valuable materials for reuse in new manufacturing.
Effective battery management and recycling are essential to support the circular economy and minimize the environmental impacts associated with raw material extraction and hazardous waste generation.
Why carry out a shredded material study on your batteries?
Battery shredded material studies play a crucial role in the circular economy and sustainable management by optimizing recycling to maximize the recovery of valuable materials and reduce losses. They contribute to more responsible environmental management by developing eco-friendly recycling methods and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Safety is improved by identifying and managing risks linked to hazardous substances. In terms of innovation, this study drives the development of new recycling technologies and provides insight into the design of more sustainable products. Economically, it makes it possible to recover the value of reclaimed materials and reduce the costs associated with waste management.

Our FAQ
Studying battery shred makes it possible to characterize its composition, identify recoverable materials, measure concentrations of critical metals, and optimize sorting, separation, and recycling processes. It is an essential step in improving the performance of recovery streams.
A laboratory can characterize shred from different types of batteries:
- lithium-ion batteries,
- LFP batteries (Lithium Iron Phosphate),
- NMC batteries (Nickel Manganese Cobalt),
- NCA batteries,
- sodium-ion batteries,
- NiMH batteries,
- lead-acid batteries,
- as well as other electrochemical systems.
Studying the metal, plastic, and black mass fractions separately makes it possible to determine their composition and value precisely. This information helps guide the choice of separation processes and improves recovery rates for critical materials.
Yes. Analytical results make it possible to identify material losses, improve shredding and separation steps, maximize the recovery of strategic metals, and increase the profitability of recycling processes.
The Filab laboratory has complementary analytical techniques to characterize all the components of battery shred. At the FILAB laboratory, these analysis can be supplemented by scientific expertise to interpret the results, identify process optimization levers, and support industrial clients in their recycling, recovery, or R&D projects.
