In this episode of the NatureBacked podcast, Fiona Alston interviews Sarah Fleischer, co-founder and CEO of tozero, a company focused on lithium-ion battery recycling.
They discuss the journey of starting tozero, the challenges of being a female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry, and the innovative processes involved in recycling lithium.
Sarah shares her insights on the importance of purpose-driven entrepreneurship and the need for sustainable practices to combat the climate crisis.
In November tozero raised 11 million euros in a seed round led by NordicNinja. This fresh capital will be used to build tozero’s first industrial deployment plant, often referred to as a First-Of-A-Kind (FOAK) plant, boosting production of recycled lithium following the first commercial delivery in April by its operational Pilot Plant, and expand the team to support its ambitious growth plans.
