EV battery & component take-back — under one OEM.
The OEM governs its own network of authorised repair shops and dismantlers to meet ELV Regulation, Battery Regulation and recycled-content obligations. ContainerGrid is the middleware for that governed network. Not a multi-brand pool.
Or start with a 30-minute conversation.
The OEM is the regulatory obligee. The network isn't.
ELV Regulation, Battery Regulation, and CBAM place the obligation on the manufacturer, not on the repair shops and dismantlers handling the physical work. ContainerGrid gives OEMs governed execution across their own network: audit-ready evidence, quality-banded materials, and closed-loop routing back into new-vehicle production.
OEM Sustainability & Compliance
Owns the regulatory obligation: needs evidence per VIN, per battery, per material stream.
Authorised Repair Network
Dealer service centres and OEM-certified independents executing warranty and end-of-life removals.
OEM-Contracted Dismantlers
Certified ELV facilities working under the OEM's take-back program, not a multi-brand pool.
The platform runs the OEM's program. References available on request.
Five steps from workshop removal to certified recycled content.
Onboard OEM Network
Digital onboarding of authorised repair shops and contracted dismantlers, covering SLAs, certifications, quality and fraction rules.
Register EV Batteries & Components
Log removed batteries, e-motors, and ELV components with VIN, state-of-health, hazard class and hub location.
Dispatch & Route
Rule-based collection and multi-stop routing to OEM-approved refurbishers, recyclers, and refiners, all hazmat-compliant.
QA & Aggregate to Lots
Quality banding, weight verification, and virtual aggregation into specification-grade lots ready for offtake or in-house re-use.
Close-Out, Comply, Feed Back
Per-VIN evidence pack: chain-of-custody, recovery rate, CO₂ data, ELV & Battery Regulation compliance, recycled-content certificates.
Built to speak the automotive data-space dialect.
ContainerGrid aligns with Catena-X data models for battery passports, material traceability, and CO₂ exchange. The OEM's take-back program feeds the same data spine used for production supply-chain transparency.
- Battery Passport data model support
- Product Carbon Footprint exchange (PCF Rulebook)
- Chain-of-custody events per VIN and per battery
Working alongside German automotive OEM programs. Details on request.
Every material stream tracked, quality-banded, and routed to certified processing.
Battery Active Materials
Lithium, nickel, cobalt: critical for recycled-content mandates.
Copper
E-motor windings and wiring: premium quality banding.
Precious Metals
Catalytic converters routed to certified refiners with chain-of-custody.

Why no existing software category covers this workflow → Platform.
From February 2027, every EV battery placed on the EU market needs a battery passport, and the new EU End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (in force since August 2026) sets recycled-plastic quotas for new vehicles: 15 percent from 2032, 25 percent from 2036. Governed dismantler networks and evidence chains take quarters to build, not weeks. The passport deadline is a data problem you solve in 2026, not in 2027.
Run your take-back program under your own governance.
Scoped with your VIN volumes, repair-shop footprint, and dismantler contracts. Not a generic demo.
Typical pilot: 8–12 weeks to first per-VIN evidence pack.
You can stop at every step, and everything produced up to that point stays with you.
If you are unsure which path fits, start with the 30-minute conversation. It is the right first step for nearly every team.
