The Norwegian Polytechnic Society is the knowledge-based membership network for sustainable technological and social development. Since 1852, they have been promoting interdisciplinary insight, inspiration, and influence.

Through their podcast series #PolyPod, they produce episodes on various topics within technology, sustainability and industry. In May 2024, our Chief Technology Officer participated in one episode on the recycling of batteries.

In this episode, you'll learn about the technology and market for battery recycling. You'll get practical examples of how waste management and the production of secondary raw materials lead to greener products with a 75% lower footprint. They also discuss the opportunities for Norwegian and Nordic success in a rapidly growing market for recycled batteries. At the end, you will also get some tips on what you can study and retrain within the green industry.
