The global transition to clean energy is well underway, but it’s already hitting roadblocks, with more on the horizon. Demand for the batteries necessary for clean energy technologies is expected to skyrocket in the coming decades, and analysts are already questioning if supply will be able to keep up. The problem is exacerbated by supply chain issues, with China controlling 40 percent of the world’s lithium battery supply. World governments are taking action to reduce dependence on foreign supplies, but will it be enough?
Miners and battery manufacturers are setting ambitious goals to keep up with demand, but there’s another option many overlook - recycling and upcycling. Analysts project that the lithium-ion battery capacity could reach 5,500 gigawatt-hour by 2030, up five-fold from 2021. Every watt-hour will eventually need recycling, whether right away or at the end of its life. The U.S. even includes battery recycling within its National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries as it strengthens the entire domestic supply chain. Innovative recycling technologies are emerging to feed end-of-life batteries and production waste back into the manufacturing process, creating new opportunities for investors to capitalize on the electrification revolution.
The conventional supply chain for battery metals is complex, requires significant global transportation, and is linearly dependent on new raw materials. RecycLiCo’s technology sidesteps this complex supply chain by processing production scrap and end-of-life batteries to provide the high value and specifically engineer materials manufacturers require, closing the supply chain loop. The RecycLiCo™ Patented Process requires minimal processing steps and provides over 99% extraction of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese.
RecycLiCo is now working towards completing the testing of its demonstration plant that was designed with a 500kg/day processing capacity of waste battery materials. The demonstration plant is intended to test scaled-up operating conditions to achieve optimum process configuration and commercial plant design. The company’s business model is to license and joint venture its technology with strategic partners that can co-locate the recycling technology alongside the manufacturer’s facility, eliminating the need for additional transportation.
RecycLiCo Demonstration Plant in Greater Vancouver, Canada
The company recently achieved 163% of the demonstration plant’s designed processing capacity of 500 kg/day for lithium-ion battery cathode scrap. Additionally, its recycling technology has undergone a Life Cycle Assessment conducted in accordance with ISO standards and critically reviewed by independent experts. The results indicate a dramatic reduction in global warming potential, demonstrating a 166 percent variance over competing hydrometallurgical methods.
RecycLiCo is led by a strong management team and advisory board with extensive experience in the natural resources industry, process development projects and international finance. The impressive roster of leaders and advisors creates additional confidence in the company’s ability to develop and commercialize its transformative technology fully.
Lithium-ion battery production has up to a 10 percent scrap rate. These scraps contain valuable critical metals and represent a significant loss to manufacturers. Additionally, end-of-life batteries undergo mechanical size reduction and become black mass. The RecycLiCo™ Patented Process recycles and upcycles both production scrap and black mass for reintegration into the manufacturing process.

American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY)(OTCQB:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) (the "Company"), doing business as RecycLiCo Battery Materials, is pleased to highlight the Company's advanced battery recycling and upcycling process's potential ability to produce less carbon-dioxide ("CO2") equivalent emissions than traditional extraction methods (i.e. mining and refining), when producing lithium hydroxide monohydrate ("LHM"). The findings were reported in the life cycle assessment ("LCA") completed by Minviro Ltd. ("Minviro"), a UK-based and globally recognized sustainability and life cycle assessment consultancy
Minviro estimates that for every kilogram of LHM being produced, the RecycLiCo process would potentially release 3.3 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions whereas traditional mining and refining would release an estimated 12.7 kg of CO2 emissions, based on industry averages. This means that on average, for every 100,000 new electric vehicle battery packs produced using LHM from the RecycLiCo process, potentially 40,570 tonnes (roughly the weight of 300 blue whales) of CO2 equivalent emissions may be avoided.1
According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance ("BNEF"), the EV battery boom has catapulted lithium prices to record levels and the world is going to need five times more lithium by the end of the decade, "…but the lithium supply chain is far from green". To meet this demand, BNEF estimates that the lithium industry needs as much as $42 billion in new investment.
The LCA report, first reported in July 2022, was an in-depth study on the RecycLiCo's lithium-ion battery waste recycling and upcycling process, assessing the Company's process against competing hydrometallurgical recycling methods and the industry average for primary extraction. The LCA considered all material and energy inputs such as scope 1, 2, and 3 CO2 emissions and was conducted in accordance with ISO-14040:2006 and ISO-14044:2006 standards, including a critical review of the LCA by independent experts.
"More investors are looking to support organizations that promote sustainability and comply with emerging climate change regulations," said Zarko Meseldzija, CTO of American Manganese. "To make these key decisions, ESG impacts have become an increasingly important part of the investment process, and those investors who value a company's assets based on ESG factors, can take comfort in LCA results completed by a professional and independent LCA consultancy under ISO-standards."

American Manganese Inc ("Company"), (TSXV:AMY)(OTCQB:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) doing business as RecycLiCo Battery Materials, a pioneer in advanced lithium-ion battery recycling and upcycling, is pleased to announce that it is receiving advisory services and funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to support a feasibility study to target the removal of fluoride from black mass containing high concentrations of fluoride
When a lithium-ion battery reaches its end-of-life, the battery undergoes a mechanical pre-treatment method that produces a black mass material containing lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, and unwanted impurities such as fluoride. These impurities can cause significant corrosion and contamination issues in the downstream hydrometallurgical processing steps.
As a result of analyzing and testing multiple third-party black mass samples, the Company identified some black mass containing a high concentration of fluoride. With advisory services and funding support from NRC IRAP, the Company will test the feasibility of available techniques to reduce fluoride contamination to a consistent level that could enable a streamlined integration of black mass feedstock from multiple battery pre-treatment methods into the company's downstream hydrometallurgical process.
"Innovation is at our core, and our goal is to stay ahead of the curve and offer the most advanced lithium-ion battery recycling and upcycling technology. We are thankful to NRC IRAP for its advisory services and funding support that enables our company to optimize our technology further," said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. "As we continue to collaborate with potential strategic partners in testing black mass materials that are representative of commercial feedstock material, we identify opportunities to build a moat around our core battery recycling technology that strengthens our value proposition."

LCA was Conducted in Accordance with ISO Standards and Critically Reviewed by Independent Experts
American Manganese Inc (TSXV:AMY)(OTCQB:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) ("Company"), doing business as RecycLiCo Battery Materials, is pleased to announce the results of a life cycle assessment (LCA) completed by Minviro Ltd. ("Minviro"), a UK-based and globally recognized sustainability and life cycle assessment consultancy, on the Company's lithium-ion battery recycling-upcycling process
An LCA is a standardized, scientific method for quantifying the direct and embodied environmental impacts associated with a particular product or process. By considering all material and energy inputs such as scope 1, 2 and 3 CO2 emissions. The LCA was conducted in accordance with ISO-14040:2006 and ISO-14044:2006 standards and a critical review was conducted on the LCA by independent experts. The LCA was carried out with a combination of data provided by RecycLiCo and public databases.
The report assesses the Company's process against competing hydrometallurgical recycling methods, on the basis of producing one kilogram of NMC precursor material, as follows:
"Global Warming Potential" refers to the potential CO2 equivalent emissions made by a particular recycling method, in producing one kilogram of NMC precursor material. As shown in the table, competing hydrometallurgical recycling methods will likely produce 166% more CO2 equivalent emissions when compared to the RecycLiCo process. To put this into context, such a variance is about the same as 17,000 tons of CO2 per GWh of NMC battery material recycled, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of emissions made by 3,700 vehicles in a year on average.1
Minviro also found that the RecycLiCo process, when compared against the industry average for primary extraction methods (i.e. mining), results in a 35% reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions for NMC precursor production and a 74% reduction for lithium hydroxide production.
"I am pleased to report that the LCA results confirm RecycLiCo's lower environmental impact to produce NMC precursor and lithium hydroxide, when compared to primary raw material extraction methods or competing hydrometallurgical recycling," said Larry Reaugh, the Company's President and CEO. "To collectively achieve true decarbonization as an industry, we must not cut corners at any stage of the lithium-ion battery supply chain and should instead recognize the most efficient and environmentally friendly technologies as an industry benchmark."
