Flash Battery at E-Tech Europe 2025: Circularity, Innovation, and Future Vision at the Heart of the Discussion

The world of electrification meets at Bologna Fiere on April 15–16, 2025, for the fourth edition of E-TECH EUROPE, the international trade show dedicated to advanced battery and electric mobility technologies. A strategic meeting point for companies, researchers, start-ups, and decision-makers active throughout the e-mobility supply chain.

With over 4,000 expected visitors, 325 exhibitors, and 170 speakers from 20 countries, E-TECH EUROPE confirms its role as a European hub for exchanging ideas, solutions, and perspectives on the most pressing issues of the energy transition—from the development of new battery technologies, to the recycling of critical materials, and the sustainable management of product end-of-life.

Alan Pastorelli Among the Speakers in the Panel “Building the Battery Recycling Supply Chain

In this context, our Co-founder and CTO Alan Pastorelli will share Flash Battery’s experience during the roundtable “Building the Battery Recycling Supply Chain” scheduled for Tuesday, April 15, 2025, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM in the Pacinotti Room (Hall 21).

Moderated by Francesco Sgromo, from Clust-ER Mech (Innovative Projects and Working Groups), the panel will explore one of the most crucial topics for the future of electric mobility: the recovery, recycling, and reuse of lithium batteries. It will be an opportunity for exchange between researchers, academics, entrepreneurs, and industrial players engaged in building a sustainable and circular supply chain, capable of giving new life to materials and reducing the environmental impact of the sector.

Flash Battery’s Perspective on Recovery, Recycling, and Reuse of Lithium Batteries

Alan Pastorelli’s talk will focus in particular on the concept of "circular by design"—how to sustainably design lithium batteries by considering their entire lifecycle right from the development phase.

Key topics of his contribution will include:

• The importance of a smart BMS (Battery Management System) to monitor battery health and extend its useful life
• The choice of LFP chemistry (Lithium Iron Phosphate): a more stable, safer, and more recyclable technology
• The strategic role of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) to ensure traceability, transparency, and accessibility of data across the entire value chain
