Association for the Battery Recycling Industry

The Queensland Decarbonisation Hub links #Queensland universities with industries, local governments, and communities to pursue net-zero transition opportunities. It is an information and networking community. Publicly introduced at a Hub energy storage networking forum on 13 November, the latest initiative is an early-stage decarbonisation map of Queensland-based technology providers, supporting companies and institutions, and government policies. #Batteries and #batteryrecycling are a core part of this map. This is a work in progress and the Hub would like your feedback on other organisations that should be included. Please provide your input using their feedback form at https://lnkd.in/gUBBp4XD Thank you for including ABRI on the panel of experts at the networking forum; it has generated valuable collaboration leads. https://lnkd.in/gUBBp4XD Chad Renando Moudassir Habib The University of Queensland office of the queensland chief scientist James Cook University University of Southern Queensland Griffith University CENTRAL QUEENSLAND UNIVERSITY QUT (Queensland University of Technology)

A circular economy is a key pillar in decarbonisation. For lithium batteries, sourcing materials from recycled sources can have less than 50% of the carbon impact than sourcing primary sources. Find out more about these opportunities for Queensland and across the entire energy storage supply chain at a webinar discussing current state and future potential. Wednesday (13 Nov) at noon AEST (Brisbane time) Register https://lnkd.in/gKcHm2Uv Supported by the Queensland Decarbonisation Hub and co-facilitated by Chad Renando and Moudassir Habib as part of the Hub's innovation and technology theme, you will join an interactive conversation with a panel of industry leaders: -- Joshua Watts, PhD, National Battery Testing Centre, QUT -- Katharine Hole, Association for the Battery Recycling Industry -- Reagan Parle, Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise The webinar will also launch Queensland’s energy storage technologies ecosystem mapping tool informed by existing technology providers, policies and research support organisations with the aim to foster collaboration and identify gaps and areas of improvement. Bring your insights and questions to join conversation with our panel of leaders in energy storage.

What's the future for battery recycling policy in Australia? This is ABRI's article in the latest Australian Information Industry Association newsletter https://lnkd.in/gyeW3U-x #ewaste #batteryrecycling #circulareconomy

South Australians can safely and sustainably drop off household goods, with batteries, that are no longer in use. The ones lurking in draws, cupboards, etc and taking up space. Start gathering products for collection and mark your diary for drop off on Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24, from 9 am to 3 pm. ⬇️for further details

Find out more about how Australia's battery recycling industry - it is investment and driving technology innovation to recover the metals and critical minerals from old batteries. #batteryrecycling #circulareconomy #cleanenergy #lithium #lead #zinc

ABRI’s submission to the Productivity Commission inquiry into opportunities in the circular economy focused on: 🔋Success factors driving lead acid battery recycling 🔋Opportunities to develop lithium battery recycling technology and infrastructure 🔋Barriers and solutions to further growing the battery recycling industry Batteries due to their high metals and critical minerals content are generally well suited to high material recovery rates and recycling. Australia, drawing on its resources and research sector capability, has a great opportunity to become a world leader in lithium battery recycling and support services.

Greenwashing, mandatory corporate sustainability reporting, minimum recycled content requirements, corporate net zero and circular economy policies, etc are requiring all segments of the battery value chain to implement tracking and trace systems. Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has released a Guide to step companies through the National Framework for Recycled Content Traceability. The Guide is to help all companies 🔋understand the movement of recycled materials in their supply chains 🔋understand what data to collect 🔋engage with supply chain partners on traceability 🔋choose a traceability system 🔋verify traceability information Further information https://lnkd.in/gDWX6q34 #batteryrecycling #batteries #lithiumbatteries #leadacidbatteries #alkalinebatteries #zincbatteries

Fire and Rescue NSW is currently recruiting for two new research assistant positions to support the SARET Research Program! If you have good experience in physical testing and experimentation then this is the opportunity for you! You’ll get to literally play with 🔥 in the name of research! #frnsw #saret #firetesting #fireresearch #lithiumionbatteries #engineering

Europe is consulting on proposed new hazardous waste classifications to take into account new battery chemistries, especially lithium and nickel based, recycling processes. It will include capture black mass and alkaline batteries as hazardous waste and have consequent implications for movements of these products beyond EU borders.
