RecycLiCo Battery Materials (“AMY” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Indian Patent Office has issued Patent No. 380826 for the Company’s first patent invention regarding lithium-ion battery recycling. The patent covers core process functions in the Company’s RecycLiCo™ process that can achieve up to 99% leach extraction of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from the treatment of lithium-ion battery cathode chemistries used in electric vehicles and portable electronics. These cathode chemistries include lithium-cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC), and lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide (NCA). 

The newly granted Indian patent is separate from the Company’s second battery recycling patent invention recently filed into national phase for Europe, South Korea, Canada, India, Australia, Japan, and China. 

India’s automotive industry is the fifth largest in the world and is slated to be the third largest by 2030, coupled with India’s plans to have 30% of private cars, 70% of commercial vehicles, 40% of buses, and 80% of two and three-wheelers go electric by 2030. India could offer one of the world’s largest emerging electric vehicle markets and pose a significant opportunity to establish a circular battery recycling business model for the sustainable and domestic supply of critical battery materials.
