Das Batterie-Startup setzte sich gegen 12 Finalisten in drei Kategorien \u2013 Fintech, Proptech und Mobilit\u00e4t \u2013 durch. Der Titel EPiC 2024-Champion kommt mit einem Preisgeld von rund 84.000 Euro (90.000 US-Dollar), 1.100.000 asiatische Meilen (ein Treue- und Vielfliegerprogramm der Fluggesellschaft Cathay Pacific) und wichtigen Kontakten zu InvestorInnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tozero wurde im Juli 2022 von Sarah Fleischer und Ksenija Milicevic Neumann gegr\u00fcndet. Nur zwei Monate nach der Gr\u00fcndung schloss\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/tag\/tozero\/\">the startup<\/a>\u00a0bereits seine erste Investitionsrunde ab. Angef\u00fchrt von <a href=\"https:\/\/atlanticlabs.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atlantic Labs<\/a>, steckten die Investoren Verve Ventures und Possible Ventures insgesamt 3,5 Millionen Euro in das Startup. Auch Business Angels wie Jonas Rieke, Co-Founder und COO von Personio, und Maximilian W\u00fchr, CEO und Co-Founder von Finn, sowie das fr\u00fchere VW-Vorstandsmitglied Jochem Heizmann beteiligten sich an der Runde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ein weiterer Meilenstein: Im September vergangenen Jahres er\u00f6ffnete das junge Unternehmen seine Pilotanlage f\u00fcr das Batterie-Recycling. Sie nutzt die firmeneigene hydrometallurgische Recyclingtechnologie um nachhaltig alle wichtigen Materialien aus den Lithium-Ionen-Batterien zur\u00fcckzugewinnen. Dazu z\u00e4hlen neben Lithium auch Graphit, Nickel, Kobalt und Mangan. Durch die R\u00fcckf\u00fchrung dieser Materialien in die lokale Batterielieferkette schlie\u00dft Tozero den Batteriekreislauf in Europa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erste kommerzielle Lieferung<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mittlerweile konnte das Startup seine erste kommerziellen Lieferung von recyceltem Lithium aus Batterieabf\u00e4llen mit dem Hydrometallurgie-Verfahren feiern. <strong>Sachin Samarakone<\/strong> aus dem Tozero-Team meint dazu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8222;Unser Lithium ist nicht nur recycelt, es ist wirklich sch\u00f6n.
