URT Umwelt- und Recyclingtechnik GmbH

URT Umwelt- und Recyclingtechnik GmbH is a German plant manufacturer specializing in turnkey recycling plants for electrical and electronic waste (WEEE) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

With over 30 years of experience and a clear technological focus, URT delivers tailored, regulation-compliant solutions that combine engineering depth, process safety and practical operability.

URT designs, builds and supports high-performance recycling systems engineered for real-world industrial use.

All process steps – from shredding to separation – are fully integrated and automated, developed in-house and aligned with international standards.

In lithium-ion battery recycling, URT offers nitrogen-inert, fully automated, thermomechanical treatment lines with modular plant architecture. These solutions cover the entire process chain – from shredding, drying and gas treatment to the separation of high-purity material fractions – ensuring safe depollution and recovery rates of over 98% for dry black mass. The plants are scalable, adaptable to various cell chemistries and suitable for integration into national recycling infrastructures.

URT’s expertise is complemented by a strong lifecycle support offering: operator training, remote monitoring, process optimization, global maintenance and a cost-efficient rental system for shredding tools units ensure stable long-term operation and flexibility in day-to-day plant use.

URT combines engineering precision with deep process knowledge – for efficient, safe and future-ready battery recycling.
