Factory Tour at EMR Battery Recycling Facility

How to turn today’s manufacturer responsibility into tomorrow’s resilience

Come inside EMR’s battery recycling facility and see the circular economy in action.

From the worldwide green energy transition to businesses of all sizes treading the path to net-zero, there’s no denying that the world is electrifying. Legislation around material traceability, producer responsibility and recycled content is changing – and now, the manufacturing industry needs to change too.

But this change doesn’t have to be difficult.

Whether manufacturers are thinking about how to responsibly recycle batteries at the end of their lives, where the supply of materials for the next innovation is coming from, or simply want to see a metal shredder that can power through three tonnes a minute, EMR is inviting attendees to step inside its specialised battery recycling facility, where customers are supported in meeting tomorrow’s compliance challenges today.

What to expect

EMR is a global leader in sustainable materials, working with manufacturers to keep critical resources in circulation and reduce the need to mine virgin materials.

With over 70 years’ experience and a network of sites around the world, EMR processes more automotive materials than any other recycler – including recovering precious materials from complex end-of-life electric vehicle batteries.

EMR supports the full battery lifecycle, helping partners to design with recycling in mind and stay one step ahead of evolving regulations. This all happens in Duddeston, where lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles, micromobility and wider e-mobility applications are triaged, tested, repaired and dismantled.

The future of compliance

Benchmark your approach against EMR’s best-practice processes, shown in full transparency. See how responsibilities can be met – from design to end-of-life and back again – without slowing down operations.

The future of safety

The materials within battery packs can be dangerous to both people and planet. This tour shows the processes and equipment developed to keep people safe, including how damaged batteries are handled safely and how the recovery process is optimised to return more materials to the circular supply chain.

The future of circularity

Circularity only works if it works commercially. See how EMR maximises value recovery from batteries, battery boxes, housings and accompanying metals and plastics that others throw away, and how this is done at scale – turning 2,000 tonnes of precious materials into tomorrow’s products every year, from this one facility.

Lead the charge in turning today’s compliance into tomorrow’s competitive edge by experiencing the difference advanced technology, skilled experts and circular thinking can make.
