RecycLiCo Battery Materials is a pioneering force in sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling, specializing in on-site processing solutions worldwide. The company’s advanced hydrometallurgical process achieves up to 99% recovery of cathode metals from battery waste, transforming them into high-purity materials ready for new battery production. From its base in Surrey, Canada, RecycLiCo has developed mobile, modular recycling plants that bring processing capabilities directly to battery waste locations, minimizing transportation costs and environmental impact. This approach addresses the growing demand for efficient battery recycling while supporting the expanding electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors.
Battery Technology
The company’s core technology centers on a patented, closed-loop hydrometallurgical process that extracts valuable materials from spent lithium-ion batteries. This water-based solution method requires minimal processing steps and produces battery-grade materials suitable for immediate reintegration into manufacturing. The process specifically recovers critical metals including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese.
RecycLiCo’s demonstration plant in Vancouver serves as proof of concept, successfully producing commercial quantities of battery-grade lithium carbonate from cathode scrap. The company’s technology has received validation through independent testing, confirming that their recycled cathode precursor materials (pCAM) match the quality and performance of commercial alternatives.
The mobile processing units represent a significant innovation, allowing for flexible deployment wherever battery waste accumulates. This approach reduces logistical complexities and supports local circular economy initiatives. The technology’s effectiveness is protected by multiple patents across major markets, including the United States, South Korea, Japan, China, India, Australia, Canada, and Europe.
Recent Projects
In early 2024, RecycLiCo formed strategic partnerships with Carmot Strategic Group and Penney Capital to identify and qualify for government funding opportunities in the U.S. and Canada. These collaborations aim to enhance the company’s intellectual property and advance its upcycling technology implementation. The company has also expanded its demonstration plant operations, exceeding design capacity while maintaining high extraction rates for battery materials.
Investors
While specific investor information is limited, RecycLiCo has established a significant joint venture with Zenith Chemical Corporation, featuring a 50-50 capital contribution arrangement for constructing a battery recycling facility in Taiwan. The company maintains its market presence through Oak Hill Financial Inc., which provides investor relations and capital markets advisory services. RecycLiCo trades publicly on multiple exchanges under the symbols TSX-V: AMY, OTCQB: AMYZF, and FSE: ID4.
