🏛️ How reduction of bureaucracy can accelerate Luxembourg and DeepTech Startups Under the theme of scaling businesses, we had the opportunity to share more on Circu Li-ion’s participation in the prestigious European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Accelerator at the House of Startups Luxembourg Annual Garden Party. In his presentation, Antoine Welter shared how the Accelerator helped the growth of Circu Li-ion over the years, sharing key learnings to encourage young startups to participate in European accelerators. With its central location in the heart of Europe, favorable regulatory framework, and focus on key sectors like DeepTech, FinTech, and Health, Luxembourg has all the ingredients to become an attractive hub for startups and investors. Supporting these ambitions, a nod to Minister of Finance, Gilles Roth, for highlighting the government’s commitment to fostering financial innovation and building a supportive ecosystem to ensure Luxembourg remains a hub for global talent and investment. A big thank you to all the event organizers, including the House of Startups Luxembourg, The LHoFT - Luxembourg House of Financial Technology, Le Village by CA Luxembourg, and ICFA - International Climate Finance Accelerator, as well as our fellow speakers, Louis J. & Adrien Wald, and Mark Tluszcz & Yannick Oswald, for their valuable insights about scaling businesses.

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.

🔋 Celebrating 3 years of Circu Li-ion: Charged with Success! We are thrilled to mark our third anniversary at Circu Li-ion, a journey defined by groundbreaking advancements in our technology towards fulfilling our mission: disassembling 3 billion of lithium batteries by 2040. Over the past three years, our Lions team has worked to revolutionize the industry, setting new standards and achieving significant milestones. A big thank you to our team, supporters, customers & partners, who have been instrumental in our success. Here’s to many more years of innovation and excellence in the battery industry!

Are we sitting on a geopolitical time bomb? 🌍 Over 50% of the world’s lithium supply comes from just three countries: Australia, Chile, and Argentina. This heavy reliance on just a few sources makes the supply chain vulnerable to geopolitical and environmental disruptions. Check out in the comments an article from World Economic Forum that discusses the major lithium-producing countries and the implications of this concentration. #StayCharged Antoine Welter Dr. Xavier Kohll

𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗘𝗩 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 ♻️ We had a great time at the EV Battery Recycling Summit in Stuttgart! The discussions were covering a lot of topics from automating disassembly to exploring different recycling methods (pyro, hydro, direct). The main takeaway is that we need more collaboration and data-sharing from the industry. OEMs should be more open to taking risks and partnering with startups. It’s not just about “What can you do for us today?” but “What can we create together?”. Building a strong battery industry here in Europe is crucial — what’s the point of recycling if we don’t have local production? Huge thanks to our moderator and fellow panelists: Julian Englberger, Sarah Fleischer, and Alexander Vorndran! Antoine Welter Dr. Xavier Kohll

Going big with Amazon 🏆🔋 We are delighted to share that Circu Li-ion has been selected as the winner in the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator Circular Economy cohort! Over the next six months, we will be working closely with the Amazon Battery Collaborative team to disassemble and diagnose selected battery packs from Amazon’s operations. This will allow Amazon to increase the reuse of batteries, have greater waste avoidance, with more efficient recycling achievable. By reusing EV batteries, Amazon aims to reduce the demand for new replacements and lower the associated carbon footprint. Special thanks to our Amazonian champions Jessica Alvarez and Jun Sup Shin!

Imagine a world with closed battery loops… ♻ By the end of 2031, the EU requires 80% of lithium from waste batteries to be recovered. In 2023, almost all batteries in Europe went into blast furnace with 1400 degree Celsius, losing graphite, lithium and more. We believe that through close collaboration, we can create a value chain that can recover a greater percentage of valuable materials and Circu Li-ion is a part of it! Thanks to CIRCULAR REPUBLIC for creating an exemplary ecosystem, going from battery production to disassembly to material recovery! It’s great to be in good company: BMW Group, SAP, MAN Truck & Bus SE, Webasto Group, FUCHS Group, LiBCycle GmbH, Nickelhütte Aue GmbH, tozero, and EAS Germany GmbH.

Academia 🤝 Battery Upcycling We had the great opportunity to take part in a joint market research project between the two Japanese universities Kwansei Gakuin University, Chuo University and the University of Luxembourg, organized and supported by the Japanese Embassy in Luxembourg. 📚 Within the 4 months of the project, the students developed a business case for Circu Li-ion and thereby had the chance to gain first experiences of working in an international environment, bridging cultures to tackle real-world challenges. The project culminated in us welcoming the students and their professors at our facility in Luxembourg - The Circular - followed by final presentations from the students at the get-together hosted by the Japanese embassy. ✨ A special thanks to Kae Kobayashi and professors Satoshi Sugahara, Sumitaka Ushio and Christophe Ley for guiding the students and organizing!
