[Interview]

Ajay Kochhar

“Over the course of the next year, Li-Cycle plans to finalize and make public (once ready) the intended partner for the incremental Hubs in Asia. The company intends to partner via a joint venture (JV); details associated with this will follow publicly in the future. The planned/intended partner has the following areas of value add:

• Access to battery feed/battery materials requiring recycling

• Strong existing integration with the battery supply chain

• Existing facilities and permits that are a fit for the facilities of focus

• Strong operational group and complementary partner

• Fit with Li-Cycle’s specific strategy in Asia – i.e., focused on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode chemistry batteries”

Paraphrased from Remarks by Ajay Kochhar

On scalability, the company CEO assures me that every aspect of their development work has rigorously focused on scalability. On delivery, the CEO does admit that the biggest challenge is human resources, while the scale of the first $172m plant, is relatively manageable in the grand scheme of manufacturing development, and to re-state, is under development on an existing major industrial site near the capital of the world, New York City.
