About

tozero GmbH is a Munich-based climate tech company on a mission to challenge the status quo of lithium-ion battery recycling and accelerate decarbonization. The company has developed a novel hydrometallurgical process that recovers both lithium and graphite at an 80% recovery rate at industrial scale — the first such process of its kind in Europe. Founded in 2022, tozero scaled its technology from lab to industrial scale in three years and is currently constructing its first-of-a-kind (FOAK) commercial demonstration plant with 1,500 tonnes of battery waste recycling capacity per year. The company is six years ahead of 2031 EU battery recycling targets and partners with eMobility firms, battery manufacturers, and electronic waste recyclers.
