SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 10, 2021 / RecycLiCo, a patented and closed-loop lithium-ion battery cathode recycling process, by American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY)(OTC PINK:AMYZF)(FRA:2AM) ("AMY" or the "Company"), was awarded the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label following an assessment performed by external independent experts and based on verified standards. RecycLiCo is thereby joining the 1000 Solutions Challenge, an initiative by the Solar Impulse Foundation to select solutions that meet high standards in profitability and sustainability and present them to decision-makers to fast-track their implementation.
"We are pleased that our RecycLiCo process was awarded the Solar Impulse Efficient Label," said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. "Initiatives such as Solar Impulse's 1000 Solutions are validating innovative ideas that could change the world and we are grateful to be recognized as a part of the solution."
American Manganese developed the RecycLiCo patented process to offer a closed-loop and environmentally friendly solution for the recycling of cathode materials used in lithium-ion batteries. The recycling process provides high extraction and purity of cathode materials, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and aluminum. The RecycLiCo process was designed with the ultimate goal of producing recycled battery products that could be seamlessly and directly integrated into the re-manufacturing of battery cathodes using minimal processing steps (Click here to view the RecycLiCo solution page).
To receive the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label, the RecycLiCo process was thoroughly assessed by a pool of independent experts according to five criteria covering the three main topics of Feasibility, Environmental and Profitability. All labelled solutions are part of the 1000 Solutions portfolio that will be presented to decision-makers in business and government by Bertrand Piccard, Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation. This initiative aims to encourage the adoption of more ambitious environmental targets and fast-track the implementation of these solutions on a large scale.
