Tozero Launches Industrial Demo Plant to Recover Lithium from Waste Batteries

German company, Tozero, announced on March 27 (local time) the official launch of its industrial-scale demonstration plant.

The company has built a facility at the Gendorf chemical park in Bavaria, Germany, capable of processing more than 1,500 tons of waste batteries annually. The process enables the recovery of lithium carbonate, graphite, and nickel-cobalt mixtures from spent batteries for reuse as battery raw materials.

The plant is expected to recycle resources equivalent to batteries from approximately 6,000 electric vehicles per year, reducing reliance on landfill disposal.
