JUST THE FACTS
The things you need to know.
Our Ontario Spoke is a fully operational lithium-ion battery recycling facility located in Kingston, ON. This facility was Li-Cycle’s first commercial Spoke operation and has a processing capacity of 5,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap per year. Li-Cycle expects to build a new and larger Spoke in Kingston to replace the current Spoke operation.
About the facility.
The Ontario 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 conveniently located between the Ontario and Quebec markets, which have experienced significant EV penetration.
Managing our environmental footprint.
Li-Cycle’s Spoke & Hub Technologies produces significantly less GHG emissions compared with mining and refining.
Commitment to safety.
At Li-Cycle, the safety of the public, our employees, and all stakeholders in the Kingston area is our top priority. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art safety and security systems to ensure that employees and the local community are protected.
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 Kingston community and to providing positive local benefits.
