Formation Of Li-Cycle

How did the idea for Li-Cycle come together? Kochhar said:

“Li-Cycle was founded in 2016 to address a missing link in the lithium-ion battery supply chain and the future of global electrification – the lack of a truly economically and environmentally sustainable recycling solution. My co-founder and I met while working at Hatch, and drawing on our deep experience working in the lithium and battery industries, we set out to reimagine the lithium-ion battery supply chain. Our vision was to develop proprietary technology that offered a safe, economically viable and environmentally friendly solution to recover valuable metals from lithium-ion battery material.”

“Today, Li-Cycle is a leading global lithium-ion battery resource recovery and recycling company that continues to have a positive impact on the global transition to clean energy. We believe it’s still the beginning of our journey and there are significant opportunities ahead.”
