Circular economy and environmental protection in the fields of dangerous goods logistics, battery logistics and recycling only work with reliable containers – such as the UN-approved Craemer pallet boxes made of high-quality PE. Founded in 1912, the group has been processing plastics since 1958. With four production sites in Europe, it is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of logistics solutions. The newly formed German joint venture’s mission is to support the entire lifecycle of a vehicle battery under the motto “repair, reuse and recycle”.

Holistic battery recycling with the CB3

The aim is to offer holistic battery recycling along the entire value chain. The new company will handle all processing steps for lithium-ion batteries, primarily from the automotive industry, from initial testing and deep discharge to repair and disassembly.

Craemer’s CB and SB3 pallet boxes (outer packaging types 4H2, 11H2, 50H) are certified as being suitable for the transport, storage and disposal of non-critically defective lithium batteries and accumulators. The robust boxes are available in industrial and Euro dimensions as well as with particularly large volumes – all with closed walls, three longitudinal runners, precisely fitting lids, tensioning straps, dedicated fields, and RFID tag options. The seamless design and smooth inner walls allow easy emptying, cleaning and drying.

The German joint venture uses Craemer CB3 pallet boxes for dangerous goods at all stages of the integrated battery recycling process. This UN-certified CB3 model has industrial dimensions (1237 x 1036 x 766 mm with lid), a volume of 610 litres and a maximum gross weight of 438.8 kg. Approximately 1,300 Craemer CB3 pallet boxes for dangerous goods have now been in use for about a year.
