Fighting the climate crisis by maximising the value of each battery.
À propos
Circu Li-ion is a European battery upcycling company. Our mission is to save the planet by boosting the value of each battery. In 2021, we embarked on our journey to revolutionize the battery value chain by automating and scaling the disassembly of batteries and the diagnostic of cells - for a more economical and ecological battery recycling. We provide our technology to leading players in the space of electric vehicles, micro-mobility, power tools, energy storage systems, and recycling. Our Machine-as-a-Service solution offers the possibility to give used batteries a second life through upcycling instead of recycling – saving money and the planet.

- 📉 Leveraging automation to reduce your non-OpEx costs Costs like absenteeism, injuries, turnover, and administrative overhead often go unnoticed but have a significant impact on overall efficiency. By leveraging automation, businesses can reduce these hidden expenses and focus on creating more sustainable and resilient operations. If you want to dive deeper into how automation can drive these improvements, follow our series #BeyondOpEx in the following weeks for more insights.Antoine Welter Dr. Xavier Kohll #Automation #Efficiency #Sustainability

🇫🇷 On y va! The French government disclosed Decret No. 2024-1221 at the end of December 2024, an implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) that holds battery producers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products. This new decree, covering everything from portable to EV batteries, is a major move towards a sustainable, circular economy. Key Takeaways: 1. Waste Management: Batteries producers and operators must partner with an eco-organization (Screlec / Corepile-ecosystem) or an individual system. 2. Recycling Targets: Ambitious goals like 65% recycling for lithium-based batteries by 2025. 3. Financial Incentives: Eco-design leads to reduced #EPR fees for producers. 4. Deadlines: Full implementation by August 18, 2025, with approvals needed by January 1, 2026. 💡 A chance to innovate and lead in the green energy revolution! 📖 Learn more about how this impacts your business in our article.

Once the battery reaches 100%, the charging mechanism switches off, and the battery is not continuously charged. However, keeping it plugged in 24/7 over a long period could still cause slight wear over time. • Pro tip: Many devices now have “optimized charging” settings that learn your charging habits and only charge to 100% right before you need to use the device, which is ideal for overnight charging.

- 💡 Last Friday, we hosted mechatronics professors from Lycée du Centre, Luxembourg, for a special tour of our facility, The Circular, in Foetz. During their visit, we showcased how our automated processes facilitate the disassembly of "end-of-life" batteries, supporting large-scale clean recycling and reuse in an increasingly electrified world. Let’s build a sustainable future together! Antoine Welter Dr. Xavier Kohll #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #GreenTech #Automation
- 🌍 Europe’s Battery Recycling Challenge: Scaling for a Sustainable Future According to T&E’s December 2024 report, Europe is facing a major challenge: with less than 100kt of current recycling capacity and over 1,000kt needed by 2030, the pressure is on to scale up material recovery processes. Meanwhile, China continues to leverage its cost advantage in battery recycling, leaving Europe at risk of falling behind if it doesn’t act swiftly. The solution? Automated Disassembly. ✔ Reduce costs by up to 50% compared to manual processes. ✔ Achieve higher efficiency in material recovery. Automation provides European players with the competitive edge they need to close the gap and secure resource independence.

♻️ Partnering with Circular Republic to close the loop on EV Batteries We are proud to have been a partner in the CIRCULAR REPUBLIC Battery Project, working alongside BMW Group, MAN Truck & Bus SE Webasto Group, Nickelhütte Aue GmbH, tozero, LiBCycle GmbH, SAP, FUCHS Group, EAS Batteries GmbH to pioneer a truly circular value chain for EV batteries. What We’ve Achieved Together: • We demonstrated end-to-end processes for EOL EV batteries – from logistics to material recovery. • We piloted innovative dismantling and lithium recovery technologies. • We processed 12+ tons of EOL EV batteries, surpassing the 2031 lithium recovery target. • We explored second-life applications, such as lubricants and energy storage. • We enabled transparent material tracking across the battery lifecycle. The Challenges and the Way Forward: While we’ve made significant progress, achieving large-scale circularity demands decisive action: • Regulatory Support: Clear and consistent frameworks are essential to drive investment in large-scale recycling facilities. • Empowering Start-ups: Start-ups are key to advance technologies and new business models. Increased venture capital and targeted funding can unlock greater potential. • Strategic Planning: Preparing for the growing volume of EoL EV batteries requires sustained investment and shared responsibility across the value chain. • Collaboration: Stakeholders must work together to streamline processes, align goals, and ensure scalability. Together, we can build a resilient and circular future to secure Europe’s critical raw materials and industrial future.

The Circu Li-ion Luxembourg team got into the festive spirit at the local Christmas market, with warm mugs of Glühwein. As the year wraps up, we're feeling excited for what’s to come in 2025. Cheers to a sustainable future and to more moments like these that fuel our journey! Antoine Welter Dr. Xavier Kohll #Luxembourg #ChristmasMarket #TeamBuilding
- 🚗 Lithium-ion battery revolution Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized energy storage with their high energy density. In fact, they can store up to 330 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg), compared to roughly 75 Wh/kg for lead-acid batteries. This makes them ideal for portable electronics and electric vehicles.
