Powering the Circular Economy: My Battery Recycling Mission

When I first heard the rallying cry to "make oil history," I knew this was more than a project—it was a chance to rewrite the rules of resource consumption. As both project leader and hands-on engineer, I helped transform battery recycling from an afterthought into an industrial revolution.

Building the Battery Afterlife

We engineered a second life for spent batteries through:
♻️ Smart Dismantling – Developed sorting systems that identify battery chemistries faster than a sommelier knows wines
⚡ Material Rebirth – Created closed-loop processes recovering 92% of lithium, cobalt, and nickel
🌱 Zero-Waste Alchemy – Where even battery casings become construction materials

The Human Circuitry Behind the Tech

Our multinational dream team worked like a precision electrochemical cell:
✅ Materials scientists playing atomic matchmakers
✅ Automation engineers teaching robots battery "butchery"
✅ Data wizards turning recycling metrics into improvement algorithms

The "aha" moment? When our first recycled battery materials returned to production—completing the circle.

We're not just recycling batteries—we're mining urban ore. Every EV battery that enters our facility carries $8,000 worth of materials begging for rebirth. My team built the industrial 'Lazarus machine' that makes this resurrection possible. The future isn't just electric—it's endlessly renewable.

Design, Construction, Installation, Start-Up and Commissioning of the Battery Recycling Plant in Skelleftea, Sweden / Revolt Ett / northvolt

Revolt Ett Battery Recycling Plant – Skellefteå, Sweden

A €300M Benchmark in Sustainable Industry

From blueprints to full operation, I played a key role in bringing Europe’s most advanced battery recycling facility to life—where every volt, valve, and wastewater stream was optimized for circular economy excellence.

My Evolving Leadership

🔹 Technical Project Manager (2021-2022) – Where Water Meets Innovation

Engineered wastewater systems that treat 4,500 m³/day while recovering 90%+ of process water
Designed utilities networks keeping 23,000 m² of cutting-edge tech humming

🔹 EIA Manager (2022-2023) – The Nervous System of a Green Giant

Wired the plant’s "digital brain": 8,500+ IoT sensors, Siemens PLCs, and AI-driven analytics
Automated material handling so precisely that robots sort battery types faster than human eyes can blink

Groundbreaking by the Numbers

✅ Hydromet Area: Processes 25 tonnes/hour of battery "urban ore"
✅ Crushing Line: Reduces EV batteries to recyclable granules in 11 minutes flat
✅ Energy Recovery: 40% of plant power comes from its own waste heat

This isn’t just a factory—it’s where Sweden’s green revolution gets its second wind.

At Revolt Ett, we didn’t just build a battery plant—we created a resource resurrection machine. My team’s wastewater systems now recover enough lithium daily for 500 new EV batteries, while our automation network makes decisions 200x faster than human operators. This is circular economy, engineered at giga-scale.
