在全球电池使用量不断增加的背景下，开发可持续、安全和高效的工艺是进一步加强欧洲锂离子电池价值链的循环经济和战略自主性的一个切实问题，符合地平线欧洲下启动的电池伙伴关系的目标。考虑到锂离子电池化学成分的可变性，ACCECT的主要目标是开发一种全球工艺，包括足够灵活的工艺链，以在闭环中处理所有类型的电池（NMC、LFP、NCA、LMO），应用（EV和ESS）和状态（老化、损坏、EoL、生产废料），迄今为止未被任何工艺技术水平所涵盖。ECOECT解决了两种回收途径：全湿法冶金和直接回收，并改进每个回收环节的生命周期评估，以降低排放，减少二次污染、安全和健康风险。ECOECT将致力于设计和验证回收工艺，达到试验规模，以回收最多的资源，包括电池中存在的标准物质和活性材料，通过在新电池的阴极和阳极材料中重复使用来闭合循环。整个项目将涵盖社会经济和可持续性方面。为确保项目的成功实施，将通过咨询委员会与相关国际利益攸关方和专家的接触，促进锂离子电池绿色回收流程的知识共享。根据欧洲绿色交易和拟议的电池Regulation.no项目摘要，基于覆盖整个价值链的坚实和跨学科的合作伙伴联盟，ESCECT寻求高回收率（锂、锰、钴、镍或石墨），低环境影响和强大的节能

In the context of increasing global battery use, developing sustainable, safe, and efficient processes is a tangible issue to further enhance circular economy and strategic autonomy of the European Li-ion batteries value chain, in line with the battery partnership’s objectives launched under Horizon Europe. RESPECT main objective is to develop a global process encompassing a process-chain flexible enough to treat all kind of batteries in closed loop, considering the variability of Li-ion batteries chemistries(NMC, LFP, NCA, LMO) , applications (EV and ESS) and states (aged, damaged, EoL, production scraps) up to date not covered by any process on the State of the Art. RESPECT addresses two recycling routes: full hydrometallurgy and direct recycling and an improved Life Cycle Assessment of each recycling segment to lower emissions and reduce secondary pollution, safety and health risks. RESPECT will aim to design and validate the recycling processes up to pilot scale to recovering the highest number of resources, including CRMs and active materials present in the batteries to closing the loop by their reuse in cathode and anode materials for new batteries. Socio-economic, as well as sustainability aspects will be covered throughout the project. To ensure a successful project implementation, knowledge sharing on Li-ion battery green recycling processes will be fostered, based on the engagement with relevant international stakeholders and experts through the advisory board. Based on a solid and interdisciplinary consortium of partners covering the whole value chain, RESPECT seeks high recovery rates (for Li, Mn, Co, Ni, or graphite) with low environmental impact and strong energy savings, in accordance with the European Green Deal and the proposed Battery Regulation.no project summary
