JUST THE FACTS
The things you need to know.
Our New York Spoke is a fully operational lithium-ion battery recycling facility located near Rochester, NY and is our first Spoke facility in the U.S. Improvements at the facility were completed in 2022, including upgrading the main line. The facility can now process up to 18,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap per year through its main line and ancillary processing capabilities.
About the facility.
The New York Spoke produces black mass which will be transported to the Hub to produce battery grade materials like cobalt sulphate, lithium carbonate, and nickel sulphate. The facility is located in close proximity to the upcoming Rochester Hub to optimize logistics and supports the growing demand for battery recycling in the northeastern U.S.

Li-Cycle’s Spoke & Hub Technologies produces significantly less GHG emissions compared with mining and refining.
