OUR FACILITY

The Rochester Hub is expected to be the first-of-its-kind battery resource recovery facility in North America.

Li-Cycle’s flagship facility expects to use a hydrometallurgical process and serve as one of the largest sources of recycled lithium carbonate in North America. The facility is expected to process up to 35,000 tonnes of black mass per year.

Li-Cycle closed a loan agreement with the U.S. DOE, marking a significant milestone for the Company and a critical step towards its goal of restarting construction at the Rochester Hub.
