Primobius provides innovative end-to-end solutions and builds plants for the efficient recycling of lithium-ion batteries. The company delivers turnkey recycling plants on an industrial scale worldwide that meet high safety standards. Its patented two-stage recycling process is low-emission and energy-efficient. It enables battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and recyclers to recover battery materials sustainably and with high purity, thereby reducing their carbon footprint.
Recycling solutions for lithium-ion batteries
Primobius offers comprehensive end-to-end solutions for recycling lithium-ion batteries. Primobius recycling plants can process several thousand tons of “black mass” annually, from which metals such as cobalt, nickel, and lithium are extracted. By facilitating the recovery of valuable metals from end-of-life batteries that would otherwise be lost as waste, the company makes a significant contribution to a secure and sustainable supply of raw materials in Europe.

Primobius' recycling process is innovative as it uses a patented two-stage process to recover metals from lithium-ion batteries in an environmentally friendly and highly pure manner. Unlike many competitors, who have only tested their technologies on a laboratory scale or only offer components or sub-processes, Primobius covers the entire recycling process. A plant built on an industrial scale in Kuppenheim for Mercedes-Benz demonstrates the practical implementation of these advantages. The technology achieves recovery rates of up to 95% for valuable cathode materials such as cobalt and nickel. Primobius also operates its own research and development facility, which enables it to continuously test new processes and components and drive innovation forward.
