This applies similarly to battery recycling. The majority of LIB battery recycling processes are characterized by a combination of different disassembly processes, followed by mechanical, thermal, and hydrometallurgical processes. The resulting material flows within the process chain are complex, particularly as varying cell chemistries are fed into the process chain, leading to volatile process outputs in terms of quality and achieved material fractions. In order to make techno-economic decisions in this context, it is necessary to employ digitalization-empowered methods and tools that take the complexity of the material flows into consideration. The handling of this complexity necessitates a high degree of transparency of the process chain and data infrastructure for the seamless integration of data from various stages of the recycling process in order to create a comprehensive overview that supports informed decision-making.
