Li-Cycle TechnologyTM offers a new, low cost, safe, and environmentally friendly process that can recycle all**types of lithium-ion batteries, recovering up to 100% of all materials. Li-Cycle's industry-leading innovations**make it as a key, potential player in the recovery of precious materials, especially as the world embraces zero**carbon technologies.**Potential customers and partners across the lithium-ion battery supply chain are particularly interested in the**net environmental benefits offered by Li-Cycle TechnologyTM, particularly to reduce greenhouse gases, as**well as soil and water impacts. However, the lithium-ion battery industry is evolving rapidly, driven by the**increased use of lithium-ion batteries in high voltage applications for electrification, such as hybrid and full**electric vehicles.**Li-Cycle TechnologyTM has developed a unique recycling process that can produce superior environmental**benefits to curb air, soil, and water pollution when recovering the lithium from spent batteries compared to**existing, conventional approaches to lithium-ion battery recovery . Because of customer demands for**environmental conscious solutions and the rapidly growing use of high voltage lithium-ion batteries in**vehicles, an LCA (life cycle assessment) that assesses these new, modern forms of lithium-ion batteries (e.g.,**high voltage) and Li-Cycle TechnologyTM is critical to validate Li-Cycle's value proposition. Additionally, a**gate-to-gate LCA is essential to quantify the net environmental benefits of Li-Cycle TechnologyTM within**Li-Cycles' proposed operating facilities. The LCA is to comprehensively evaluate the environmental benefits**that can be realized from using Li-Cycle's new process for lithium recovery.

Li-Cycle TechnologyTM提供了一种新的、低成本、安全和环保的工艺，可以回收所有 ** 类型的锂离子电池，回收率高达100%。Li-Cycle的行业领先创新 ** 使其成为回收珍贵材料的关键和潜在参与者，特别是在世界拥抱零 ** 碳技术的情况下。锂离子电池供应链中的潜在客户和合作伙伴对锂循环技术提供的 ** 净环境效益特别感兴趣，特别是减少温室气体以及 ** 对土壤和水的影响。然而，锂离子电池行业正在迅速发展，这是由于锂离子电池在高压电气化应用中的使用增加，例如混合动力和全电动汽车。Li-Cycle TechnologyTM开发了一种独特的回收工艺，与 ** 现有的传统锂离子电池回收方法相比，该工艺可以产生上级环境 ** 效益，从而在从废电池中回收锂时抑制空气、土壤和水污染。由于客户对 ** 环保解决方案的需求以及 ** 车辆中高压锂离子电池的使用迅速增长，评估这些新的现代形式的锂离子电池（例如，**高电压）和Li-Cycle TechnologyTM是验证Li-Cycle价值主张的关键。此外，** 门到门LCA对于量化 **Li-Cycles拟议运营设施内Li-Cycle TechnologyTM的净环境效益至关重要。LCA是全面评估使用Li-Cycle回收锂的新工艺可以实现的环境效益 **。
