ICBR in Salzburg is now also offering live streaming. Faced with a global pandemic, the organisers are offering to our delegates the latest innovation. The congress is taking place as planned but now everyone can be a part of the action from any place in the world.
All presentations, interviews with exhibitors, and workshop will be available by live broadcast and on demand, so that all the delegates can stay up to date with all the recent industry insights and developments brought directly from Salzburg.
ICBR 2020 is the international platform for reviewing the challenges faced by the Battery Recycling Industry on a global basis. For the 25th consecutive year ICBR will bring together the international community of experts and decision makers of the entire Battery Recycling value chain, including battery recyclers and producers, collection organizations, OEM’s, policymakers, materials and services providers and many more.
For its 25th anniversary, in response to requests from delegates, the programme of the ICBR 2020 will particularly focus on Battery Recycling Technologies. Indeed by 2020, the primary and the rechargeable battery industry will face the review of the Batteries Directive. Simultaneously, many new EV batteries will be introduced on the EV market as car manufacturers will have to meet stringent CO2 emissions targets.
The conference will offer participants business opportunities through networking and communication on Battery Recycling including the latest processes under development and industrial processes. Plenary sessions will be complemented by many side events such as round tables, exhibitions, posters presentations in order to open the conference to innovative issues, processes and technologies.
The following topics will be covered:
