Project Overview
The SAFELOOP Project, part of the EU Horizon programs, focuses on enhancing sustainability and the circular economy in battery technologies. It aims to improve the safety, performance, and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.
International Collaboration
The project unites 15 organizations from 11 countries across three continents. It emphasizes recycling and a closed-loop supply chain, integrating end-of-life batteries as secondary raw materials into new lithium-ion cell production.
Recycling as a Strategic Lever
Recycling is not just an environmental necessity but a strategic tool to reduce dependency on critical raw materials, strengthen supply chain security, and enhance cost competitiveness. The project aims to increase battery cycle and operational life by 2030, contributing to the green transformation of the transportation sector.
ASPİLSAN Enerji's Role
ASPİLSAN Enerji, Türkiye’s strategic battery manufacturer, plays a critical role in the project. It is responsible for the production and validation of cells and battery packs from recycled materials, ensuring their performance, safety, and industrial-scale applicability.
