Under Axens’ sole ownership, Eurecat’s strategic direction remains unchanged. Axens intends to build on Eurecat’s recognized expertise to further develop catalyst circularity solutions, including regeneration, rejuvenation, recycling, and ex situ activation, with the objective of delivering high value services to the industry and reducing the environmental footprint of catalyst management activities across all regions.

“With the closing of this acquisition, Axens reaffirms its long-term commitment to catalyst circularity and sustainable catalyst management. Besides, this transaction further supports Axens’ strategy in metals circularity, extended to battery-related activities,” opines Quentin Debuisschert, Chairman and CEO of Axens

Eurecat’s experience in catalyst materials recycling provides a robust basis for the development of recycling processes for other metal-containing materials, such as used batteries, contributing to Axens’ long-term circular economy ambitions.
