RecycLiCo Battery Materials Inc., a critical minerals refining and lithium-ion battery upcycling company, has opened its Innovation Centre laboratory in Delta, British Columbia.
The company can now provide bench-scale hydrometallurgical processing and technical research and development services for projects across the metals, mining, refining and battery materials sectors, supporting miners, refiners, OEMs and technology developers. The lab is the first step in the roll-out of the Innovation Centre which will include adjacent pilot plant facilities, enabling clients and partners to move from concept to pilot scale within a fully powered, ready-to-build environment. The Innovation Centre is designed to support process development, flowsheet validation, pilot-scale testing and commercialization.
“This milestone is the result of disciplined execution of our capital-efficient approach to building the technical infrastructure required for long term growth and commercialization,” said Richard Sadowsky, interim chief executive officer of RecycLiCo.
RecycLiCo’s technology focuses on refining critical minerals, whether already in circulation or as part of primary extraction, as part of the strengthening of domestic North American supply chains and reducing reliance on offshore refining capacity.”
