Bosch plans to repurchase and recycle its fuel-cell stacks when their useful life expires

The platinum recovered will be used in new Bosch stacks

Bosch aims to repurchase stacks when their useful life expires, the company stated on 14 September. 

“By recycling, we can make the stacks more economical and at the same time reduce the carbon emissions associated with platinum mining,” says Thomas Pauer, the president of the Bosch Powertrain Solutions division. “We’re already laying the groundwork for recovering rare raw materials like platinum. Our estimates suggest that by 2030 at the latest, appreciable numbers of fuel cells will need recycling,” he adds.
