In their own words

“cylib’s remit is to develop and scale sovereign, sustainable Li ion battery recycling by establishing capacity for end of life batteries, battery production scrap and black mass, recovering materials for reuse in the battery value chain.”

“Integrated end to end recycling yields high purity materials and recovers 7/17 EU strategic raw materials (Li, C/graphite, Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, Al) from NMC and LFP chemistries. Midstream, it bridges end of life flows to battery grade supply to manufacturers. Policy: Critical Raw Materials Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1252) and EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542); Circular Economy Act; Industry Accelerator Act. Impacts: EU strategic autonomy, less dependence on non EU refining, contribution to recycled content targets (6% Li by 2031; 12% by 2036), 80% GHG reduction vs mining, and 100% renewable operations.”
