From Innovation to Industrialization: Mecaware Accelerates the Implementation of Its Project with Ingenica
Innovative Technology for Sustainable Recycling
The startup Mecaware uses CO2 to extract strategic metals (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese) from end-of-life lithium-ion battery waste, in order to reintroduce them into the manufacturing process. This model promotes a more sustainable industrial approach, based on the principles of circularity and reducing the environmental footprint, without the use of acids or effluents.
With Ingenica’s expertise, the startup is taking a decisive step toward industrialization in the heart of the Hauts-de-France region.
Mecaware is accelerating the industrialization of its project with INGENICA
Following the completion of its research and development work, technical validation through pilot testing, and the filing of several patents, Mecaware is taking a new step forward in its industrial development.
To successfully navigate this strategic phase, the company has partnered with Ingenica to benefit from its expertise in pragmatic and scalable engineering, as well as ongoing support throughout the project.
This collaboration will enable the company to carry out a process sizing study, equipment specifications, an assessment of various scenarios, a preliminary analysis of industrial risks, and a 3D feasibility and general installation study.
A semi-industrial pilot program to accelerate deployment
The company is launching a semi-industrial pilot project in Béthune.
This project aims to demonstrate the operational and financial viability of the process. Ingenica’s experts are actively contributing to this project by providing design engineering and managing all trades.
Ingenica stands out for its expertise, collaborative approach, and comprehensive support for Mecaware. This collaboration is accelerating the project’s industrialization.
Yet another example of our expertise, which contributes to the circular economy and a more sustainable industrial future!
