The event brought together **leading players in the battery and automotive industry**, including recycling experts, car importers, energy suppliers and policy makers.

Niels Vandeput of Watt4Ever then explained the rigorous **diagnostic processes** that allow battery modules to be classified for reuse or recycling. A demonstration on deep discharging of modules, led by Ruud Barnas of RecuPbat, showed how modern technology can be used to achieve **safe discharges** down to 0 volts. ![A woman smiles next to a speaker in front of a large screen with a picture of a lorry.](https://www.logbatt.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10112/2024/10/logbatt- 4.png) ## Maximum safety in your yard – with the proven SafetyBATTbox XL Storage from LogBATT’s popular storage family for hazardous goods storage containers LogBATT GmbH made a significant contribution to this event: Christian Wickel, Key Account Manager at LogBATT GmbH, explained the **high safety requirements** for the transport of VHE batteries. As these batteries are classified as hazardous goods, special packaging solutions are essential. LogBATT GmbH works together with Febelauto to transport batteries **safely and efficiently** in specially developed “safety boxes” to specialised recycling partners. LogBATT GmbH also presented one of the most popular storage solutions for its customers, the SafetyBATTbox XL Storage, which stands out for its** high level of safety features** and efficiency. These boxes comply with the most stringent legislation and contribute to the safety of the entire recycling chain. ![1. a group of people in an industrial hall with machines. 2. warning sign for damaged lithium-ion batteries. 3. group discussion with papers in an industrial environment.](https://www.logbatt.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10112/2024/10/logbatt- 3.png) Another highlight was the **demonstration of the discharge process**, in which battery modules are completely discharged to 0 volts in a controlled manner. The event concluded with the opening of the new battery warehouse by Antwerp alderman Koen Kennis, with the chairman of Febelauto emphasising the** importance of cooperation** for sustainable battery management. ![A group of people take part in an event in a warehouse.
