BEYOND REPAIR:

REUSE & RECYCLING

At NOWOS, our mission is to keep batteries in use for as long as possible. Instead of defaulting to recycling, we prioritize repair and reuse, the most resource-efficient strategies for battery lifecycle management.

When repair is not feasible, we offer full-service dismantling, reuse of components, collaboration with third parties for second-life applications, and, when necessary, compliant recycling.

1

Repair-First Approach

We begin by assessing every battery for its repair potential. Our diagnostics allow us to identify faults, restore performance, and safely return batteries to service.

2

Reuse & Second-Life Solutions

When batteries cannot be repaired, we dismantle them and evaluate components for reuse or downstream applications, ensuring maximum material retention before considering recycling.

Responsible Recycling

When neither repair nor reuse is possible, we ensure safe, compliant recycling through certified EU partners. While most clients operate under national recycling schemes, NOWOS can support or coordinate alternative solutions when needed.

  • We dismantle batteries to recover modules, electronics, and metals

  • Pre-sorting reduces the weight (and cost) of what needs to be recycled

  • Dismantling simplifies material recovery for recyclers, especially for critical elements like lithium, cobalt, and nickel

Thanks to this process, NOWOS has achieved a 98% recycling efficiency rate of materials recirculated and revalued into the economy.

CIRCULAR PARTNERSHIPS

NOWOS works directly with manufacturers, fleet operators, and vehicle manufacturers to design circular battery systems, enabling full traceability from use to end-of-life.

  • If your business is involved in the reuse of cell packs and components, let’s talk!

  • If you’re looking into recycling batteries, let’s discuss how we can reduce your costs by repairing and dismantling first.

By reducing waste and maximizing reuse and second-life value, we drive the transition to a circular, sustainable economy, one battery at a time.
