Recovered materials through different recycling processes can be reintegrated into new products, thereby reducing the need for virgin raw materials and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient supply chain in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Lurederra successfully designed a workflow to transform several types of recycled materials into high-quality metal precursors suitable for being use in flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) equipment. Throughout the project, Lurederra conducted numerous FSP productions at different scales, progressively optimizing active materials for NMC-based cathodes to achieve the desired physicochemical properties, such as specific crystalline phases and metal ratios. In parallel, the project has opened up new avenues for research and provided a roadmap for further work on recycling processes capable of industrial-scale implementation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about the FREE4LIB project in the video below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeforlib.eu\/\">https:\/\/www.freeforlib.eu\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"dt-pswp-item\" href=\"https:\/\/lurederra.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/205-FREE4LIB_M48-meeting_Castellano-e-ingles.jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\" data-large_image_width=\"874\" data-large_image_height=\"737\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7697\" src=\"https:\/\/lurederra.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/205-FREE4LIB_M48-meeting_Castellano-e-ingles-300x253.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lurederra.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/205-FREE4LIB_M48-meeting_Castellano-e-ingles-300x253.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lurederra.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/205-FREE4LIB_M48-meeting_Castellano-e-ingles-768x648.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lurederra.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/205-FREE4LIB_M48-meeting_Castellano-e-ingles.jpg 874w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partners of the European project FREE4LIB met in Brussels at the beginning of June for the project&#8217;s final meeting, where they shared key results achieved after four years of collaborative work.
