France Spoke.
OUR FACILITY
The France Spoke is expected to use Li-Cycle’s ‘Generation 3’ technology to process full EV battery packs without discharging or disassembly.
Li-Cycle’s Spoke recycling process uses a submerged shredding method that does not require the dismantling or discharging of batteries and reduces the risk of a thermal event. Timing for the France Spoke is currently under review.
About the project.
The France Spoke is strategically located in “Battery Valley,” an area noted for its high concentration of global automotive OEMs and battery gigafactories in Harnes in the Hauts-de-France region.
Managing our environmental footprint.
Our innovative recycling process ensures the safe and sustainable recycling of all types of lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap, preventing them from ending up in landfills and reducing overall waste.
Commitment to safety.
Li-Cycle upholds international best practices for health, safety, and the environment during the handling and transportation of lithium-ion battery materials. The safety of our employees, the community and all stakeholders in the Harnes area is our top priority.
Working within the community.
At Li-Cycle, we believe that success is driven by communication and collaboration. We are committed to open and ongoing engagement with our neighbours and the Harnes community and to providing positive local benefits.
