The exponential adoption of electric vehicles will lead to a rapid increase in battery recalls – which will be around 35,000 metric tonnes per year in Spain by 2035 – and new battery manufacturing rejects. In this context, this collaboration aims to develop an industrial facility that will be ready when such recycling capacities are required on the peninsula. In this way, FCC and Iberdrola are extending the collaboration they began to tackle the recycling of wind turbine blades, for which purpose they created the company EnergyLoop. This new effort further reinforces the circular economy strategies of FCC Ámbito and Iberdrola, which see this model of production and consumption as a key lever for the energy transition. Kunal Sinha, Global Head of Recycling at Glencore, emphasised that "we are delighted to be part of this alliance on battery circularity with Iberdrola, a world leader in renewable energy, and FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente, a leader in waste management services in Spain and Portugal.
