The luxury German automobile manufacturer is recycling high-voltage batteries to recover valuable raw materials after their use in vehicles. Porsche aims to test a potential closed-loop raw material cycle and address the growing importance of recycled battery raw materials.
Later, the automobile manufacturer plans to develop a recycling network for high-voltage batteries in collaboration with external partners.
“With the help of innovative recycling processes, we strive to increase our independence from volatile and geopolitically unstable raw material markets,” said Barbara Frenkel, Executive Board Member for Procurement at Porsche.
“Circular Economy is a core pillar of our sustainability strategy, and with this pilot project, we want to underscore our ambitions.”
