➀ The BMBF-funded battery project IDcycLIB has successfully concluded after three years. The project focused on sustainable battery production and recycling processes.

➁ Key achievements include the transition to a water-based cathode production process and economic evaluation of new recycling methods.

➂ The project also developed a battery pass system for traceability and efficient recycling.

➀ The Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) has started the CELTIC-NEXT Flagship Project SUSTAINET aimed at developing sustainable and resilient network technologies.

➁ The project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research with 30 million Euros, will run from January 2025 to December 2027.

➂ The focus is on developing future-proof networks that integrate fiber, wireless networks, and modern mobile generations, improving the availability, resilience, and sustainability of the networks.
