About Us

Circunomics, GmbH was founded in 2019 and is in Mainz, Germany. The company is leading the industry by offering a comprehensive battery lifecycle management solution. Co-Founders, Felix Wagner and Jan Born, are dedicated to establishing a true circular battery economy to maximize each stage of battery life. Along with their team, they seek to inspire the movement of batteries from 1st-life within the automotive industry to 2nd-life within the energy sector, and finally through working with recyclers to close the loop by recovering any remaining raw materials.

We provide advanced technology solutions for battery lifecycle management, analytics, and marketplace services. Our goal is to revolutionize the management of batteries throughout their lifecycle, empowering the future of sustainable energy.
