Know-how from Thuringia: Anyone who buys a Kreislauf für Batterierohstoffe can

One of the Hochschule Nordhausen has been launching the ZirKat project since August 2024: Ziel ist es, Rohstoffe aus Lithium-Ionen-Batterien des Types LFP (Lithiumeisenphosphat) zurückzugewinnen and damit wieder for the Herstellung new Batterien einzusetzen.

In the development of projects, at the college with various Thuringian companies, the emphasis is on the recycling of cathode materials, for the partner jewelery and a project project. The start-up of the university, which specializes in mechanical processes with its Thuringian Innovation Centers for manufacturing and project coordination all over the world, involves the zero or sorting of battery components.
