Bachelor's/Master's Thesis: Circular Economy and Material Management in Battery Production

Collection and analysis of existing waste and valuable flows Classification of different types of waste (e.g. batteries, metal scrap, electronic scrap, packaging materials) Identification of potential for recovery and marketing Assessment of economic potentials by reuse, recycling or sale of valuable materials Analysis of requirements of external recycling and recovery partners Investigation of technical, logistical and organizational requirements to achieve required return and sorting qualities Development of a sustainable concept for optimising value management Economic assessment of the proposed measures and determination of possible savings

Study of economic engineering, environmental and sustainability management, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, process engineering or comparable disciplines Interest in Circular Economy, Sustainability and Recycling Technical understanding of production processes and material flows Analytical way of thinking and structured working Own initiative and joy in interdisciplinary cooperation

A practical final work with direct impact on sustainability and business success A topic of the future at the interface of technology, environment and economy Access to real production and material flow data Technical support by experts from production, quality and sustainability The possibility to implement concrete improvements with measurable added value Possible research questions What types of valuables and waste arise along our production processes? What material flows have the greatest economic optimization potential? What requirements do recycling companies place on material quality and sorting? What technical or organisational measures are required to meet these requirements? What savings and revenue potential is the result of optimised value management?
