RecycLiCo™
Key Benefits
Circular Recycling Process
Consumer battery waste sourced from urban areas and processed for reuse in lithium-ion batteries versus mining, processing, and refining of raw materials in remote and politically unstable regions around the globe.
Economically Robust
Low cost recovery process with minimal processing steps and known resource content in feedstock versus high cost of exploration, drilling, and resource estimation required prior to the development of a mine.
Environmentally Friendly
Closed-loop hydrometallurgical system with no Green House Gas emissions, no landfill waste, low energy consumption, and recycling of process water and reagents while also reducing reliance on mining raw materials.
Government Support
Legislation worldwide is highly supportive of recycling and mineral recovery from urban waste versus ever increasing mining permit restrictions and stricter environmental regulatory standards.

RecycLiCo™ is
Economically Robust
Potential for highly profitable recycling of thousands of tonnes of existing and commercially available lithium-ion battery cathode scrap material.
NMC (Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt) – Used by automakers such as BMW, Nissan, and Volkswagen.
NCA (Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum).
LCO (Lithium-Cobalt-Oxide) – Used in portable electronic devices such as cellphones and laptops.
The RecycLiCo™ Patented Process uses a novel combination of reagents that provide high extraction of lithium-ion cathode materials at a cost less than $1 per kilogram of cathode material processed.
RecycLiCo™ generates products as close to final battery production ready form as possible and can be valued at a premium price versus international market prices for raw mined and unrefined materials.
