A battery is not thrown away when its first job is done. REAP follows a circular economy approach — keeping batteries and materials in use for as long as possible — to give each battery new value in a second life.
Second-Life Approach
A battery that has done heavy work in a large project can still do lighter work afterwards — for example, storing energy in a home or as backup power for buildings. This way, the same battery stays useful for much longer.
Recycling
At the end of their life, batteries are processed for recycling to recover valuable raw materials. As part of its manufacturing investment plan, REAP is developing a dedicated Battery Cell Second-Life and Recycling Facility in Türkiye.
Environmental Impact
By extending battery life through second-life use and recycling, REAP's lifecycle approach reduces waste and supports a circular economy.
