Eurecat’s strategic direction remains unchanged. The company will operate independently and maintain its contribution to the reduction of carbon footprint in catalyst management activities through the enhancement of circularity and ex situ activation in all regions.

Eurecat’s experience in the treatment and recycling of catalysts materials is an excellent basis for developing recycling processes on other metals containing activities such as used batteries.

“Looking ahead and under Axens’ ownership, Eurecat will leverage its strengths in catalysts closed or open loop recycling and support Axens’ broader goals of advancing catalyst reuse, ex situ activation, and metals circularity to further reduce the carbon footprint of catalysts,” shares Quentin Debuisschert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Axens.
