A massive battery recycling plant is being built in Germany by Cylib, a startup looking to reduce waste from EV batteries that have reached the end of their life. Cylib says its facility will be the largest end-to-end lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Europe. Cylib said the new plant would primarily serve automotive, battery manufacturing and chemicals clients. “Cylib reaching industrial scale production will be a key driver in building a robust European battery infrastructure,” Schwich said in a press statement. “Battery recycling is pioneering the circular economy, proving that economic success is compatible with reduced environmental impact,” she added.
