OUR FACILITY

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

Li-Cycle’s flagship facility expects to use a hydrometallurgical process and be 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. Construction of the Rochester Hub was paused in October 2023. Li-Cycle is currently conducting a comprehensive review.
