👋 About us in short:

▷ Europe’s first startup recycling lithium ion batteries

▷ On a mission to build a scalable lithium-ion battery recycling machine to recover the critical materials inside, like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite in a sustainable way

▷ Raised our €3.5m pre-seed round to build our first prototype plant in Munich, Germany

▷ Started in summer 2022 and already representing 10+ nationalities!

🔋♻️ Why are we doing this?

Lithium ion batteries are crucial to enable our decarbonization efforts and will be used to electrify mobility vehicles, machines, drones, or power banks. However, Europe’s ambition for electrification and increasing the LiB production results in a shocking high dependence on mining countries not only resulting in supply chain constraints, but also in real geopolitical and ESG tension for Europe.

We need to act now and build a scalable and robust battery recycling process. At tozero, we’re committed to challenge the status quo of material life-cycle to accelerate decarbonization.
