About TSR Innovations
Tomislav Stolar Recycling Innovations UG (TSR Innovations) is a Berlin-based engineering company for mechanochemical processes. The company supports chemical manufacturers and recycling operations in the design, validation and scale-up of process solutions whose synthesis takes place without solvents at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The portfolio includes the licensing of a proprietary mechanochemical process, the bottom-up design of custom processes, and the scale-up of dry and wet processes including life-cycle and techno-economic analyses. Fields of application are chemical manufacturing, the recycling of electronic, construction and mining waste, and the recovery of critical raw materials. The research site is located in the Science and Technology Park Berlin Adlershof, in the immediate vicinity of the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM); through this, access to infrastructure for material characterization is available. The work is based on 13 years of research and development in mechanochemistry.
