The European Commission and public bodies across EU countries are significantly investing in projects related to battery recycling. This focus aligns with the EU's broader goals of promoting sustainability, reducing environmental impact, and advancing the circular economy. Since 2019, 145 projects have been recounted at EU and national levels. Several funding mechanisms are available. At EU level, Horizon Europe, H2020, and the European Innovation Council are the main funding mechanisms. At the national level, each country has their own funding bodies. One can mention the "Agence National de Recherche in France" (ANR), the "Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung" (BMBF) in Germany, the "Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación" (CDTI) in Spain or "Innovate UK" in UK.
