AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS

Waste management

Since 2008, SNAM has supported automobile manufacturers in the management of their industrial waste, more precisely, through the recycling of batteries resulting from their production of electric vehicles.

A global solution

Today, SNAM is a partner of the main automobile manufacturers: Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Hyundai, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda, BMW, etc. for the collection of end-of-life batteries in Europe in order to ensure recycling.

European battery recycling subsidiary

SNAM has set up a solid collection and traceability network for industrial batteries from hybrid and electric vehicles.

e-mobility

More and more electrified products

Every day, new innovative products are put on the market. We increasingly come across, in the urban landscape: Segway, bicycles, scooters and electric scooters.

Limit CO2 emissions

A new way of moving in favor of the Environment, which does not deviate from the need to recycle end-of-life batteries.

The Challenges of Battery Treatment

Batteries from sensitive means of transport such as aircraft require handling with very specific safety procedures.

In particular, when they no longer meet a sufficient level of performance, it is essential to transport them to a treatment center.

Waste and hazardous materials management

Thanks to its expertise in the traceability of hazardous materials, SNAM ensures that the battery is recycled and that it will not re-enter any secondary circuit.

RAILWAY

A evolving market

A major consumer of batteries to power locomotives and wagons, particularly for lighting systems, the railway sector is a major source of end-of-life industrial batteries.

The most common electrochemical group for this type of energy is Nickel Cadmium, a chemistry that SNAM has been authorized to process since 1981.

BATTERY AND ACCUMULATOR MANUFACTURERS

A evolving market

Battery and accumulator manufacturers must cope with an intensification of volumes placed on the market due to the development of new technologies and electric mobility. SNAM supports manufacturers in order to integrate recycling from production management to the end of the product’s life.

From the design stage

SNAM supports its partners in order to:

  • To identify certain substances and their impact on the implementation of recycling
  • To consider eco-design taking into account the evolution of recycling costs
During manufacturing

SNAM is able to receive and process:

  • Production waste
  • Sludge from water treatment
  • Dust from air treatment
  • New defective waste
At the end of life

Thanks to its partnership with SNAM, the manufacturer is able to offer a service including the recycling of a defective or end-of-life product, particularly during a substitution.

ECO-ORGANIZATION

Waste management

Public or private eco-organizations are responsible for organizing the collection and recycling sector for batteries and accumulators in a given territory on behalf of their members.
