5000 attendees, 500 speakers, 300 exhibitors - and we got the chance to speak on this year´s Bits & Pretzels´ main stage. A great honor being able to explain or vision for circular economy. In particular, we discussed how the shift from a “take, make, waste”-scheme towards recycling can be realized and how recycling can help to meet the demand for relevant raw materials. Of course this topic was outlined by Li-ion batteries.
