Case Celltech: As the accumulator industry grows, the value of recycling keeps increasing<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”8303″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” qode_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]Anders Blomqvist \/ Celltech[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cRaw ingredients for accumulators are not produced in a snap of the fingers. As such, recycling old accumulators will be highly important in the future for the production of accumulators as well,\u201d comments Managing Director of Celltech Anders Blomqvist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Celltech is a well-known operator in the accumulator market. \u201cEstablished in 1989, the company is among Finland\u2019s leading accumulator and battery solution providers,\u201d says Managing Director Anders Blomqvist as an introdution to the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provide industrial operators with everything from button cell batteries to energy containers and auxiliary power solutions. We also produce accumulator packages and systems for work machinery, which is quite an interesting and new market.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1641556168693{margin-bottom: -11px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The significance of recycling is highlighted as demand for accumulators increases<\/h2>\n

Celltech\u2019s roots are in Finland, but the company is currently part of the Swedish Addtech AB group of companies. \u201cOperating under an international company enables us to not only co-operate with our sister companies across geographical borders, but to make new investments as well,\u201d Blomqvist describes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn early 2022, we will open an assembly plant in Tampere, which we have now been piloting for a couple of years. The plant will focus on the accumulator systems of industrial vehicles, and it will also be accompanied by a product development centre that will serve all of Celltech\u2019s units,\u201d Blomqvist says.<\/p>\n

Demand for accumulators will increase in the coming years, and Blomqvist sees that as both an opportunity and a challenge. \u201cThe prices of raw materials for lithium accumulators have almost doubled already, and delivery times will grow longer as there is a global shortage of components. There are also recycled accumulators sitting in warehouses waiting for further processing,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is being electrified, but there are not enough mines producing raw ingredients for accumulators, and opening a new mine takes 5\u201310 years. That is why it is very important to recycle existing accumulators. However, as the recycling rate increases, we must also remember to invest in recycling capacity to avoid surplus stocks and to have the materials genuinely circulated,\u201d Blomqvist comments.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-10″ css=”.vc_custom_1522197605885{padding-right: 6% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Producer responsibility is part of environmental protection<\/h2>\n

In addition to material circulation, environmental protection also plays an important role in the responsibility of accumulator recycling. \u201cIt is not good if an accumulator ends up in nature or the wrong kind of waste,\u201d Blomqvist states.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

<\/i>
\u201cIt is highly important that the recycling of both lead and lithium accumulators is taken care of properly to avoid hazards. Producer organisations are valuable, as they are keeping these matters in the foreground. I have been working on the board of Recser for this year and have learned a lot,\u201d Blomqvist says.<\/h5><\/blockquote>[vc_column_text]\u201cThe role of producer organisations is significant in matters such as providing information about new regulations. There is still room for improvement, and for example reinforcing the one-stop shop principle in accordance with the reformed Waste Act is a good endeavour,\u201d Blomqvist says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very good change for producers that Recser and Akkukierr\u00e4tys are now using the same reporting system. All volumes can now be reported in the same system with the same principles,\u201d says Anders Blomqvist appreciatively.<\/p>\n
