About Crusade

CRUSADE pioneers innovative technologies to revolutionize recycling, extracting critical raw materials from automotive components with unrivaled efficiency.

Through a universal hydrometallurgical method, we recycle up to 500 tons/year of spent components, while recovering 40 tons/year of critical metals. Leveraging blockchain for material tracing and a pan-European collection network ensures sustainability. Our process reduces CO2 emissions by 15-80%, outperforming commercial methods.

With automated processing, we achieve a 15% time reduction and offer materials at 15% lower prices, promoting cost efficiency.

Our Impact

Maximize recyclability of ELVs to ca 100%:
• Work complementarily with dismantlers
• Automotive dismantlers to be material providers/adopters

Sustainable production of Critical Raw Materials:
• Recycling up to 500 tn EoL components/year
• Produce 250-280 tn of CRMs (Cu, C, Ni, PGMs, Co, Mn, Li)
• Sustainable supply of CRMs for EU green transition

New best practices for the EU industrial ecosystem:
• Licensing the process to customers
• Safe-and-sustainable by design (SSD) practices
• Sustainable business within the consortium and externally.
