Lithium Battery Recycling & Lifecycle Management
Workshop VIII
Countdown Till The Workshop
Eighth Annual NAATBatt Workshop on Lithium Battery Recycling
NAATBatt International will host its eighth annual Lithium Battery Recycling & Lifecycle Management Workshop on July 29–31, 2025, at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nevada. This in-person event will bring together stakeholders across the battery value chain to explore the technical, economic, and regulatory dimensions of battery lifecycle management.
The 2025 workshop will focus on challenges at scale: from harmonizing regulatory compliance across jurisdictions, to enabling profitable LFP recycling, integrating recycled materials into new battery production and the possibility of large-scale battery reuse. Attendees will also examine emerging technologies, safety and logistics improvements, and market implications of evolving policies and regulations.
This year’s workshop culminates in an optional, guided tour of Redwood Materials, a leader in domestic battery material recovery.
If your company is navigating the transition to circular battery practices, or aiming to lead it, this is the workshop to attend.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
As demand for lithium-based batteries continues to surge, efficient and sustainable end-of-life management is now a top priority across the North American battery value chain
NAATBatt’s Lithium Battery Recycling & Lifecycle Management Workshop VIII, held July 29–31, 2025, in Reno, Nevada, will address the most pressing challenges and innovations in battery recycling. The program will include discussion of safe handling, processing and transport of black mass, advancements in LFP and next-gen chemistries recycling, commercialization of recycling byproducts, the possibility of large-scale battery reuse, and track-and-trace regulatory initiatives such as the European and proposed SAE International “battery passport”.
Join top voices from industry, government, and academia to gain insight and shape the future of profitable and sustainable battery lifecycle solutions in North America.
