Ascend Elements and Call2Recycle have signed a new agreement, bringing customized electric vehicle (EV) battery management, logistics, and recycling services to dealerships, recyclers, and repair facilities. The program combines EV battery recycling infrastructure and the technology of Ascend Elements with the collection, tracking, and logistics capabilities of Call2Recycle. The program offers online access to GreenTraxEV, the cloud-based platform from Call2Recycle designed to ship mid-life, end-of-life, and damaged-defective EV batteries. The companies aim to collect and recycle the equivalent of over 300,000 EV battery packs by 2030.

"We are pleased to continue our partnership with Ascend Elements so that together we can make strides in building an infrastructure for electric vehicle battery transportation and recycling," said Leo Raudys, CEO of Call2Recycle. "Our commercial agreement will enable a convenient collection process through our state-of-the-art GreenTraxEV logistics platform."

By utilizing Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft Power Platform, GreenTraxEV streamlines the scheduling, routing, and logistics of EV battery management. Ascend Elements and Call2Recycle can tailor the GreenTraxEV workflow to meet specific requirements.

"We're excited to expand our partnership with Call2Recycle and offer a comprehensive EV battery recycling and tracking program to our customers," said Ian Braime, chief commercial officer at Ascend Elements. "This new program will help automotive dealerships, repair shops and recyclers prepare for the wave of EV batteries that are expected in the coming years."

The program supports recyclers with lithium-ion batteries from battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric buses, electric aircraft, stationary energy storage units, outdoor power equipment, e-bikes, e-scooters, hoverboards, and power tools.
