Reverse Logistics Group (RLG) has acquired LiBCycle GmbH for an undisclosed amount, marking a significant expansion in its service offerings. This corporate acquisition sees RLG, a specialist in managing product returns and recycling processes, integrate LiBCycle, a company focused on optimizing the logistics and processing of defective lithium-ion batteries.

Looking ahead, the combined entity is poised to deliver enhanced, end-to-end services for battery logistics and recycling. This strategic alignment aims to address the increasing demand for sustainable and compliant solutions in the circular economy, particularly as the volume of lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles and consumer electronics continues to grow. The acquisition strengthens RLG's commitment to environmental responsibility and efficient resource management.
