14.15 Palota Environmental Protection Ltd - From Scrap to Safe Value: A Practical Playbook for Li-ion Battery Manufacturing Waste Handling
Keve Pap, Director of Operations, Palota Environmental Protection Ltd

Hungary’s rapid lithium-ion battery boom creates complex manufacturing waste streams—variable chemistries, volatile solvents, and safety risks that can stall recycling and inflate costs. This 25-minute talk outlines the real-world technical and environmental challenges seen in practice, how to tackle them with standardized pre-acceptance, rapid analytics, safe pre-treatment and solvent management. The goal: turn uncertain “scrap cocktails” into predictable, compliant, higher-value feedstock for recyclers - safely, repeatably, and at scale.
