ICBR 2025 International Congress for Battery Recycling

ICBR 2025 is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and its focus on battery recycling since its beginnings makes it more relevant than ever today.

In particular, the program in Valencia this year will focus on lithium-ion battery recycling, and the increasing number of participants, speakers, and exhibitors demonstrates the importance of communication and knowledge exchange on this issue. Hardly any other form of recycling reflects globalization and international material flows for raw and secondary materials as well as this one does.

For months, the Steering Committee and Lecture Group have been working on the program for the September conference, addressing particularly relevant issues for our industry.

Top industry leaders from the entire life cycle of battery recycling, from mining through use and collection at end of life to repair, reuse and recycling come together at ICBR, with experts and regulators to ensure this industry remains a vital and vibrant part of the circular economy in Europe and worldwide.

The event features a roundtable discussion focusing on the battery circular economy in Spain, a fully booked exhibition hall, and two very different site visits: one to a Veolia waste management plant and another to the Nanophotonic Technology Center in Valencia.
