(the \"Company\" or \"Rock Tech\") (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V).\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rock Tech Lithium Inc., together with GP Papenburg Entsorgung Ost GmbH and Knauf KG, have founded the Institute for Technologies and Economics of Lithium (\"ITEL\"). The ITEL is managed as a registered limited liability company by Professors\n \n Ulrich Blum\n \n and Ralf B. Wehrspohn of Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg as managing directors.\n \n \n The ITEL is located in Halle an der Saale in Saxony-Anhalt. The institute aims to shape the interdisciplinary, CO2-neutral recycling economy for lithium in\n \n Germany\n \n . The switch to electromobility will make\n \n Germany\n \n the central location for battery production in\n \n Europe\n \n and thus also for the production of the crucial precursor lithium hydroxide. The reduction and reuse of the by-products generated during the refinement of lithium is the focus of the institute's work. Another focus is research into new production steps to optimize by-product value creation.\n \n \n \n Dirk Harbecke CEO and Chairman of Rock Tech Lithium:\n \n \"We at Rock Tech Lithium have already piloted a new refining process. Our nitrate process, produces very interesting by-products for the gypsum industry. With this institute we want to think further in this direction and it is part of our plan to become the first closed-loop lithium company in the world. In this context, the institute is a central building block in our sustainability strategy, which is not only about recycling our end product, but also about recycling all the materials that arise on the way to lithium hydroxide and setting up our production process in such a way that by-products of the hig...
