The 100% Recycled EV Battery Cell

PR Campaign
Thursday 17th September, 2026

Porsche and recycling specialist Cylib produced an EV battery cell whose cathode uses 100% recycled lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese. The milestone turns end-of-life Porsche batteries into new battery material, creating a clear proof point around closing the EV battery loop and preparing for tougher European recycling rules.

Why it worked: It hit a regulation-timed proof point: a tested, 100% recycled cathode tied to EU battery-passport traceability, not just a pledge.

The lesson: Consider pitching a verifiable “closed loop” demo synced to an imminent rule change, with audited tracking and a date customers will feel.
