RecycLiCo™ Pilot Plant Continues Optimization and Commercial Feasibility Study Plans
CEO: Another Step on the Environmentally Friendly Path to Lithium-ion Battery Recycling
RecycLiCo Battery Materials (“AMY” or the “Company”), is pleased to report that improved RecycLiCo™ Pilot Plant results were achieved with a 99.93% purity (previously 99.88%) from the second production of recycled NMC cathode material. The results were submitted by the Company’s contractor, Kemetco Research. See photo here.
The Company will continue testing the existing stockpile of NMC and NCA cathode scrap to further optimize cathode material purity.
“The 99.93% purity achieved by the RecycLiCo™ Pilot Plant is a great demonstration of high-quality cathode materials expected in the lithium-ion battery manufacturing industry” said Shailesh Upreti, Advisory Board Member of RecycLiCo Battery Materials and President of C4V and Chairman of iMperium3 New York, a consortium that is building a lithium-ion battery Gigafactory in New York state and other parts of the world.
“All of us on the RecycLiCo Battery Materials team are extremely pleased with the recent purity results as it demonstrates our ability to continually improve our recycling potential and provide an environmentally friendly solution to the lithium-ion battery recycling industry,” said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of RecycLiCo Battery Materials.
