Porsche makes battery cells with 100% recycled cathode material from its own EV packs

• Porsche produced battery cells using cathode active material made entirely from recycled feedstock recovered from its own high-voltage batteries.
• The pilot, run with recycling partner cylib, replaces primary raw materials with recycled inputs; Porsche is testing the cells in real-world use.
• Initial results indicate technical feasibility; further test outcomes are expected in H2 2026, informing potential use in series-production cells.
• Recycling of end-of-life batteries from German Porsche Centers began in May 2026 using a water-based process; recovered materials are earmarked for use from 2028.
• The program targets a more closed battery circular economy, aiming to reduce dependence on global raw-material supply chains.
