Your full-service partner for lithium-ion battery transports

No matter if battery classification, battery box, transport or storage: We work alongside all areas of your battery logistics

About us

LiBCycle is a young, Munich-based company. We have made it our mission to make the circular economy of defective lithium-ion batteries more sustainable and efficient through our reliable all-in-one logistics service. We take care of all process steps along the value chain of your (used) batteries – from battery classification, to the provision of our specially developed, innovative battery boxes for legally compliant and secure packaging, to loading, to transport and storage of the batteries. Uncomplicated, fast & legally compliant.

Current challenge in the market

E-mobility is becoming increasingly important. More and more e-cars, e-scooters and the like are entering the market.

But what happens to the defective lithium-ion batteries in the end?

So far, the industry has focused on building up recycling capacities.

But the currently extremely confusing, complex, inefficient and cost-intensive transport of defective lithium-ion batteries goes unnoticed.

High organizational effort

In the future, a huge number of different battery and battery module types will have to be transported to a wide variety of locations. In addition, suitable packaging must be available at the right place and at the right time. This leads to a high coordination and organization effort for your employees

Complex logistics

In addition, once the battery is no longer as good as new, it must be transported as dangerous goods. Dangerous goods transport requires qualified personnel, specially equipped trucks, special packaging and additional certification if the battery is classified as waste.

Unintuitive packaging solutions

The current packaging solutions are laborious to handle due to the non-intuitive design and the many additional parts (pillows, pyrobubbles). Therefore, carelessness or lack of expertise can lead to incorrect loading of the batteries into the packaging and result in transport that is not legally compliant. This entails legal and financial risks for the company.

Legal certainty

Error prevention and risk minimization by ensuring compliance with legal safety standards through ready-made overall system without additional individual components

Maximal flexibility

Shape and size-independent transport of a wide variety of battery geometries – completely without external additional components (e.g. pyrobubbles, cushions)

Time and complexity reduction

Minimizing the time required for the organization and loading of the battery box as well as increasing the user-friendliness through a simple loading process by means of an intuitive standard box solution.
