50% of the total emissions of the electric vehicle during its entire life cycle comes from the production process. At this point, recycling, smart charging strategies and second life applications contribute significantly by reducing the overall impact.
A new production model
At BeePlanet Factory we offer a leading second life energy storage solution with a clear focus: efficient sustainability.
We are committed to a change of model in the production of the products, in particular the batteries. We believe in an energy model based on the reuse of raw materials; since a model based on non-renewable energies leads to poverty, to a more polluting and more expensive energy system.
We evaluate the contribution that our products make to the environment and also their impact. We carry out an LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) assessment and according to this standard, we manage to save more than 4200 kg of CO2 over a complete life cycle compared to a new battery.
We have virtually zero impact on the use of raw materials and biodiversity in the ecosystems during the whole life of the product. This means not only no pollution, but also no use of critical raw materials with high extraction costs such as lithium or nickel
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
This is how we approach our business model: from dismantling, development, creation, sale and recycling.
We are integrated in a Collective System of Extended Producer Responsibility. Every time we place a battery on the market, we pay a fee. At the end of the battery’s life, our partner collects it and recycles it.
There are different methods such as hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy. The main objective is to extract those materials that are critical, such as lithium; and they can be reused in first life batteries for an electric vehicle.
SDGs
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. At BeePlanet we already achieve 5 of them.
COMMITTED TO THE PLANET
The BeePlanet concept applies to everything we do and how we do it.
From opting for electric mobility or cycling to get to the office, to researching into biodegradable materials that generate the minimum waste for our packaging;
to collaborating in technological projects that help to take care of the planet.
