To address this challenge, GDES is working alongside the Institute of Energy Technology (ITE) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) on BAT2REC, a project aimed at developing advanced technologies for recovering critical materials from electric vehicle batteries.<\/p>\n<p>The BAT2REC project seeks to develop and validate cutting-edge technologies, focusing on the direct recycling of materials and the extraction of lithium from acid leachate. These advances aim to optimize efficiency and sustainability throughout the battery life cycle, contributing to a more circular and environmentally friendly model.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"fui-FluentProvider fui-FluentProvider30 ___13yoiqc f19n0e5 f3e3pzq f1o700av fk6fouc fkhj508 figsok6 f1g96gwp\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"a_e_50a7110f a_e_50a7110f root-153 CanvasZone row CanvasZone--alignment CanvasZone--noMargin CanvasZone--read\" data-automation-id=\"CanvasZone\">\n<div class=\"r_e_50a7110f p_e_50a7110f q_e_50a7110f w_e_50a7110f\" data-automation-id=\"CanvasZone-SectionContainer\">\n<div class=\"a_a_50a7110f h_a_50a7110f CanvasSection CanvasSection-col CanvasSection-sm12 CanvasSection--read CanvasSection-xl12\" data-automation-id=\"CanvasSection\">\n<div id=\"487dcca3-2698-4dc5-8f7a-51baa106a06a\" class=\"ControlZone ControlZone--clean a_g_50a7110f\" data-automation-id=\"CanvasControl\">\n<div class=\"ControlZone--control\">\n<div class=\"rte-webpart rte--ck5 rte--read-ck5 rte--paragraphSpacing LightMode rte--list-rtl\" dir=\"auto\" data-sp-feature-tag=\"Rich Text Editor\" data-sp-feature-instance-id=\"487dcca3-2698-4dc5-8f7a-51baa106a06a\">\n<div class=\"ck-content rteEmphasis root-155 css-156 fixFocusIndicator\" data-automation-id=\"textBox\">\n<h4 class=\"noSpacingAbove spacingBelow\" data-text-type=\"withSpacing\">GDES\u2019s role: from research to industrial application<\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-345795 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Logo-1_Bat2Rec-300x178.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Logo-1_Bat2Rec-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Logo-1_Bat2Rec-1024x607.png 1024w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Logo-1_Bat2Rec-768x455.png 768w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Logo-1_Bat2Rec.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>From GDES Circularity, our team is working to transfer these technologies (currently at the laboratory stage) into a real operational environment. GDES is developing a prototype that integrates the technological solutions validated by ITE and UPV. This prototype will allow us to assess the feasibility of the process under functional conditions and establish efficiency, safety, and performance parameters.<br \/>\nThe ultimate goal for GDES is to ensure that BAT2REC results can be transferred to a future pilot plant and later scaled up to an industrial lithium-ion battery recycling facility. This line of work is part of the company\u2019s strategy to promote new circular economy models and provide real solutions to one of the major challenges in the energy and electric mobility sectors.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Commitment to sustainable innovation<\/h4>\n<p>Participation in BAT2REC reinforces GDES\u2019s commitment to technological innovation and sustainability. Closing the battery life cycle not only represents an opportunity to reduce environmental impact but also to secure the recovery of strategic materials whose demand will continue to grow in the coming years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-235981 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/08\/BAT2REC_financiacion.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/08\/BAT2REC_financiacion.png 659w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/08\/BAT2REC_financiacion-300x88.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":235974,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-345794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gdes-innovation","category-operativa","category-servicios-logisticos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345794"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":345808,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345794\/revisions\/345808"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
