ONTARIO, Canada, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Li-Cycle Corp. (Li-Cycle), North America’s largest lithium-ion battery recycling company, today announced its successful completion of a battery recycling pilot with New Flyer Industries Canada ULC and New Flyer of America Inc. (together «New Flyer»), subsidiaries of NFI Group Inc. («NFI»), one of the world’s leading independent global bus manufacturers.

New Flyer provided Li-Cycle with 45 end-of-life lithium-ion battery modules (used for research and development)  totaling 3,200 pounds; these batteries will be processed at Li-Cycle’s Spoke facility and turned into black mass, an industry term for a mixture of lithium, nickel, cobalt and copper. Li-Cycle’s Hub processes black mass in order to produce critical, battery-grade materials from recycled sources, as well as other recycled materials that can be returned to the economy.

«We are thrilled to team up with New Flyer to help spearhead the closed-loop resource recovery of electric bus batteries,» said Li-Cycle Chief Commercial Officer Kunal Phalpher. «As of 2019, approximately 425,000 of the world’s buses are electric. By recycling thousands of pounds of lithium-ion batteries, we’re serving the dual purpose of reducing hazardous waste, while recovering critical materials so they can be reintroduced into the supply chain. The compounded benefits of this partnership will have a significant positive environmental impact, which can be a model for cities around the world.»

Lithium-ion batteries have traditionally been impractical to recycle, creating hazardous waste and the loss of valuable, finite materials. Historically, many have been landfilled or partially recycled through pyro-metallurgical processes, which have only an average recovery rate of 40%. However, these methods are inefficient and lead to environmental decay, wasted resources, and have a negative impact on an otherwise environmentally friendly vision of electrification.

«As our customers transition to zero-emission mobility, they do so with a focus on cradle to grave sustainability. The demand for battery recycling is growing, so too is the desire to lessen environmental impact on our communities. Our pilot with Li-Cycle is delivering just this and we are optimistic in offering battery recycling in future,» said Chris Stoddart, President, New Flyer and MCI. «We’re committed to providing sustainable mobility solutions from procurement through vehicle retirement. Working with Li-Cycle delivers a triple sustainability benefit: we recover critical resources and divert them from landfills, provide them for re-use in the battery supply chain, and do so through Li-Cycle’s proprietary clean recycling process that minimizes impact to surrounding environments.»

New Flyer and Li-Cycle are both members of CALSTART, an international nonprofit dedicated to accelerating the pace of clean technology and the adoption of clean transportation.

Ajay Kochhar and Tim Johnston co-founded Li-Cycle in 2016 with a vision to be the most sustainable, vertically integrated and globally preeminent lithium-ion battery resource recovery company. Li-Cycle’s Spoke & Hub Technologies provide a low cost, safe, and environmentally friendly process that can recycle all types of lithium-ion batteries, with an unparalleled recovery rate of ≥95% of all materials. Li-Cycle’s industry-leading innovations make it uniquely positioned to support a key element of the growing international movement towards zero carbon technologies. The company recently closed a Series C equity funding round to fund further facility deployment and to drive expansion into international markets.

About Li-Cycle Corp.
Li-Cycle Corp. (Li-Cycle) is on a mission to leverage its innovative Spoke & Hub Technologies to provide a customer-centric, end-of-life solution for lithium-ion batteries, while creating a secondary supply of critical battery materials. Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are increasingly powering our world in automotive, energy storage, consumer electronics, and other industrial and household applications. The world needs improved technology and supply chain innovations to better manage the end-of-life of these batteries – and to meet the rapidly growing demand for critical and scarce battery-grade materials through a closed-loop solution.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Khaled Salem, who is running for the U.S. Senate in New York, today issued a statement demanding that Donald Trump pay for the damages he caused to the U.S. Capitol building by inciting a violent riot there on January 6. He urged all Americans to file lawsuits against Trump, as an individual, for the destructive consequences of the lethal spree conducted by his followers. In his view, the insurrectionist violence and vandalism will cause real financial harm to Americans in the forms of increased taxes and borrowing to pay for repairs and increased security over the long term.

«This is not an abstraction,» Khaled explained. «We all know that this little man’s temper tantrum led directly to hundreds of thousands of dollars in physical damages to the Capitol. But, going forward, the increased security services and adding of security features to government buildings everywhere as the result of this violence is going to cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. Why should we shoulder this burden? It’s a worthwhile matter to pursue, in my view.»

In addition, Khaled condemned the anti-democratic actions of the rioters and their primary instigator. «This is now what America is about, and everyone who participated in this disgraceful incident is well aware of this fact. The irony is that the protesters were demanding democracy—but they were engaging in fascist tactics. We elect representatives to govern in the name of the people. If we don’t like them, we vote them out. We don’t threaten to kill them if we disagree or contest an election.»

As a U.S. Senator, Khaled is committed to serving the people of New York state with dignity and honor, two qualities that were sadly lacking on January 6. In his view, the attacks and threats made on that day are an unfortunate extension of the personal attacks that are now so common in American politics. «If you don’t agree with someone, you can be productive and make a difference by engaging in an argument with their policies. But if you degenerate into personal attacks, you’re accomplishing nothing for the country,» he added.

Khaled also remarked, sadly, «Let’s also never forget that a brave police officer was beaten to death by this mob. Trump and his supporters essentially engaged in a terrorist act against all Americans. This tragic event should negate Trump’s chance to run again for the presidency in 2024. The rule of law must prevail.»

Khaled, a longtime resident of Brooklyn, is renowned as a fighter for human and religious rights for Americans at home and abroad. In addition to advocating for the release of American detainees in the Arab world and elsewhere, he advocates for less restrictive immigration laws. His other policy positions include the following highlights:

• A stop to the policy of showing place of birth on U.S. passports, a practice that leads to discrimination and harassment of American citizens when they travel abroad.
• Laws and procedures to reduce domestic violence nationwide.
• A reduction in U.S.  Military activity and presence in the Middle East.
• A policy that requires these regions pay for American military services.
• The establishment of a home loan program for middle class single parents.

Khaled is running in the next general election, scheduled for November 8, 2022. Thirty-four of the Senate’s 100 seats are being contested in these elections.
