Goals
cylib's mission is to develop and scale sovereign, sustainable Li-ion battery recycling by establishing capacity for end-of-life batteries, battery production scrap, and black mass. They aim to recover materials for reuse in the battery value chain. Integrated end-to-end recycling yields high-purity materials and recovers 7/17 EU strategic raw materials (Li, C/graphite, Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, Al) from NMC and LFP chemistries. Midstream, it bridges end-of-life flows to battery-grade supply for manufacturers.
Policy Focus:
- Critical Raw Materials Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1252)
- EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542)
- Circular Economy Act
- Industry Accelerator Act
Impacts: EU strategic autonomy, reduced dependence on non-EU refining, contribution to recycled content targets (6% Li by 2031; 12% by 2036), 80% GHG reduction vs. mining, and 100% renewable operations.

EU Supported Forums and Platforms
cylib participates in the Cleantech Friendship Group’s official events, regularly contributing to discussions that connect European cleantech innovators with EU policymakers. They take part as attendees and through dedicated speaker slots, sharing their perspective on scaling sustainable battery recycling and strengthening Europe’s clean industrial value chains. Through this engagement, cylib supports the Group’s mission to accelerate the deployment of innovative clean technologies in Europe.
Communication Activities
cylib has engaged in communication activities related to EU industrial and cleantech policy, particularly concerning the Clean Industrial Deal, the implementation of the EU Battery Regulation, and the Critical Raw Materials Act. Their focus is on strengthening Europe’s battery value chain and scaling battery recycling capacity. These activities include:
- Public communications (e.g., social media posts and briefings) explaining and reacting to EU policy initiatives.
- Highlighting measures relevant to cleantech scale-ups (e.g., demand creation via procurement/funding, de-risking and financing instruments, and faster state-aid processes).
- Communications around participation in policy-facing events and discussions with EU stakeholders, such as the Cleantech Friendship Group launch and a panel discussion on the Clean Industrial Deal.
- Engagement in EU-level policy debates through cleantech networks and events, including the Cleantech for Europe Summit and a high-level roundtable at the European Parliament on “The Bankability of European Cleantech Manufacturing.”
- Referencing and supporting joint communication materials like open letters coordinated via cleantech networks, including an open letter calling for an ambitious Clean(tech) Industrial Deal and communication around the Industrial Accelerator Act open letter.
