in a successful test a korean cathode manufacturer used recyclico battery materials inc’s amyzf recycledupcycled precursor cathode active material to create battery cells recyclico’s nmc811 precursor comprising nickel manganese and cobalt oxide outperformed other recycled cathode precursor materials additionally recyclico’s product performed at the same level as existing commercial nmc811 precursor material the battery cell performance test was validated by industrystandard metrics recyclico’s precursor was produced using battery product scrap and black mass samples the success of this test provides validation for the company’s novel closedloop recycling technology this is a significant milestone for the company proving the efficacy of recycled lithiumion batteries “these results not only validate our technological lead but also showcase the potential of our strategic business model that enables potential cathode and battery manufacturer partners to reintegrate recycled batteryready materials while gaining economic and environmental benefits” commented zarko meseldzija ceo and director of recyclico battery materials inc “we are excited to explore potential partnership opportunities and further advance technical due diligence with the korean manufacturer as we push the boundaries of sustainability and innovation in the battery materials industry” the majority of batteries are made from a lithiumion chemical formula lithiumion batteries libs differ in construction some libs have nickel manganese and cobalt in them while others use iron phosphate as a primary metal however it is inevitable that all batteries will need to be recycled and the raw materials that are used to create the batteries are finite a circular economy is one where existing products are recycled and reused to decrease waste and provide a sustainable source of materials a circular economy not only benefits the environment by limiting singleuse products and overextraction of valuable materials but a circular economy can also benefit industries and supply chains companies can be more integrated and resource independent recyclico battery materials inc is one of the companies pioneering recycling technology recyclico is a battery materials company focused on recycling and upcycling lithiumion batteries it has created a patented closedloop hydrometallurgical process that can capture up to 100 extraction of lithium cobalt nickel and manganese used in libs and integrate the materials into the remanufacturing of new libs companies like recyclico are instrumental in the circular economy and the future of battery production this post contains sponsored advertising content this content is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be investing advice
