MetalshubTalks 002
Date: 25 February 2026
Time: 12:00 CET
Europe’s battery recycling industry is entering a decisive phase. While volumes are growing, the market for recycled battery raw materials remains opaque and illiquid. Bilateral trading, limited transparency, and the absence of accepted reference prices constrain price discovery, financing, and long-term investment.
In this MetalshubTalks episode, we explore:
MetalshubTalks host, Samir Jaber, will be joined by Dr Frank Jackel, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Metalshub, and Maciej Mikulicz, Managing Director and COO at Royal Bees.
Together, they will discuss how early participation and committed liquidity can shape market structure, establish standards, and define long-term positioning as Europe’s battery recycling market matures.
Join the conversation and help shape Europe’s battery recycling market.
This session is designed for battery recyclers, traders, downstream buyers, and industry stakeholders who want to actively shape Europe’s battery recycling market rather than wait for it to evolve on its own.
