Skills, services and / or products
The Service 4MAT Recycling team provides expertise in the following fields:
Identification, characterization, and treatment of recoverable waste
Environmental assessment using the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of renewable energies and energy storage methods
Chemical and structural characterization of certain energy storage environments (several microscopy and chemical analysis techniques are available)
Selection of the most corrosion- and even wear-resistant materials, in relation to the specific constraints imposed by the energy storage environments
