tozero launches Europe’s first industrial battery recycling plant
The Munich startup’s demo plant at Chemical Park Gendorf in Bavaria processes 1,500 tonnes of battery waste a year and produces 100 tonnes of high-purity lithium carbonate, at costs the company says are twice as competitive as conventional miners. A full-scale facility capable of 45,000 tonnes per year is planned for 2030. Europe has a […] This story continues at The Next Web
The founders want to recover important raw materials from battery waste. This is also politically relevant, because the critical materials mostly come from China.
With the commissioning of an industrial demonstration plant in the Gendorf chemical park in Bavaria, the Munich-based startup Tozero has marked a milestone in European battery recycling. For the first time, lithium, graphite, and a nickel-cobalt alloy can be recovered from used lithium-ion batteries on an industrial scale. The plant can process more than 1,500 tons of battery waste annually and produce over 100 tons of high-purity lithium carbon…
