Librec AG is a Swiss start-up with the intention of recycling lithium-ion drive batteries from electric vehicles in the most energy- and resource-efficient way possible. In the process, production and consumer waste is transformed and prepared for reuse in battery production by means of primarily mechanical treatment processes. The service includes the collection and transport of the batteries to the recycling centre. In addition, the residual energy of the batteries is used and a material recovery rate of over 90 % is achieved for all recyclable materials.
