Processing will take place at the Bioveld Complex under the umbrella of the Thorold Multimodal Hub and the Hopa Port Authority in Niagara, Ontario. Call2Recycle is the provincially-approved consumer battery collection and recycling program for British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island, and operates as a registered Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) in Ontario according to the Ontario Batteries Regulation.
In working together, EVSX will bring its leading technology to maximise metal recovery and full circle battery recycling in its processing capabilities while Call2Recycle brings the scale of its vast recycling network in Ontario along with 25 years of experience across Canada in support of creating a safer, cleaner Ontario for the future. The MOU provides the opportunity to realise significant environmental and economic benefits in Ontario through greater synergies in the battery recycling ecosystem.
This joint arrangement supports Call2Recycle's plan for the continued growth of battery collection volume in Ontario across multiple chemistries (including single-use alkaline), creating a more sustainable supply chain and further reducing its carbon footprint.
