en.Wedoany.com Reported - German TSR Group (Lünen) and BASF SE (Ludwigshafen) have entered into a cooperation agreement to jointly advance electric vehicle battery recycling in Europe. The cooperation covers the professional dismantling, discharging, and black mass processing of end-of-life batteries. Both parties are also concurrently evaluating joint actions in the treatment of metal fractions from waste streams and in end-of-life battery logistics.
The TSR Group, a member of the Remondis Group, is headquartered in Lünen, Germany, and is one of the companies in the European metal recycling sector. BASF, headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany, is a supplier of cathode active materials and lithium-ion battery recycling services, operating a black mass production and recycling facility in Schwarzheide, Germany.
Through its joint venture BLC, established together with Renault Group, TSR will undertake the dismantling and discharging of end-of-life batteries. TSR contributes to the partnership its processes for handling metal fractions and electronic components, its logistics solutions for end-of-life batteries, its network of over 190 waste management approved sites across Europe, and its experience in handling complex material flows.
Through this cooperation, BASF expands its recycling network to cover new markets and basic services in the European battery recycling value chain.
Mark Aßhoff, Managing Director of the TSR Group, stated that recycling battery metals is a strategic prerequisite for supply security and European industrial competitiveness. Keeping raw materials continuously within the European market and making them available again strengthens industrial value creation and reduces geopolitical dependencies.
Dr. Daniel Schönfelder, President of the Battery Materials division at BASF, said that the partnership with TSR will expand the European network and create integrated solutions to help customers close the value chain sustainably and reliably. According to publicly available information, BASF's recycling facility in Schwarzheide, Germany, commenced operations in 2023.
