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, and it is interesting because it focuses on practical implementation details.

Tozero’s industrial plant is a significant step forward for Europe’s battery supply chain, addressing critical raw material shortages with scalable recycling. Producing 100 tonnes of high-purity lithium carbonate annually shows strong practical progress beyond pilot projects. This could unlock circular economy benefits and reduce reliance on mining.
