ICBR 2026, taking place September 9 – 11, 2026, brings the battery recycling industry to Berlin at a time when technical progress, regulatory requirements and economic reality are becoming increasingly interlinked.
Across the battery value chain, the focus is shifting towards reliable recycling capacity, safe reverse logistics, raw material recovery, and the competitiveness of industrial recycling in Europe and worldwide.
This year’s programme reflects these developments, bringing together industry leaders, recyclers, battery manufacturers, OEMs, researchers, policymakers and technology providers to discuss the topics currently shaping our sector, from end-of-life batteries and changing chemistries to black mass, regulation and international material flows.
For months, the Steering Committee and Lecture Group have been working on a programme addressing what matters most to our industry today.
Berlin, as one of Europe’s key political and industrial centres, provides the right setting for this exchange.
