JUST THE FACTS
The things you need to know.
Our France Spoke is being developed in Harnes, in the Northern region of the country, and is expected to be operational in 2024. The Spoke will have access to renewable energy and is located in an area with a growing battery manufacturing ecosystem.
About the facility.
The France Spoke is expected to leverage Li-Cycle’s ‘Generation 3’ Spoke technology, with initial processing capacity of up to 10,000 tonnes of lithium-ion battery material per year, with optionality to expand up to 25,000 tonnes per year.
Managing our environmental footprint.
