RecycLiCo Taiwan Battery Recycling Joint Venture Commences Production and Sales of Black Powder
July 08 2024 - 5:00PM
RecycLiCo Battery Materials Inc. (“
RecycLiCo” or
the “
Company”), (TSX.V: AMY | OTCQB: AMYZF| FSE:
ID4) a pioneer in the field of sustainable lithium-ion battery
recycling technology, is pleased to announce that RecycLiCo Zenith
Battery Materials Technology Co., the Company’s joint venture with
Zenith Chemical, has constructed a Stage 1 shredding facility at
the site of its battery recycling plant in Taiwan and is now
processing off-spec battery materials purchased from an established
global battery manufacturer and selling the resulting black powder.
The Joint Venture made its first shipment of black powder in late
June and has already made arrangements for future shipments.
Construction of the Joint Venture’s Stage 2
recycling plant, which will process both black powder and the black
mass resulting from the shredding of end-of-life batteries, is
expected to begin later this year. Project planning for the Stage 2
plant is in the advanced stages and Zenith Chemical is expected to
commence site preparation shortly. As previously announced,
RecycLiCo will be supervising the construction in Vancouver of an
expandable modular facility (initially 2,000 mt/year), which will
be transported to, and commissioned in, Taiwan. Commissioning of
the plant is anticipated in 2025.
The advanced battery recycling technology
employed by the joint venture will be capable of processing black
mass and black powder into high-value products, such as
battery-grade lithium chemicals and precursor cathode active
material (pCAM), positioning the joint venture at the forefront of
advanced battery recycling solutions and as a contributor to the
global efforts to develop sustainable energy sources.
Richard Sadowsky, Interim Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, said, “This is the first step in
RecycLiCo’s transition from a venture stage company into a
revenue-generating global industrial enterprise. The entire
RecycLiCo team is committed to this transition and the Board of
Directors expects to take additional steps in that direction over
the next few months.”
