Li-Cycle and Arrival, two major global companies in electric mobility, are about to cooperate in order to boost lithium-ion battery recycling. According to the official communications, Li-Cycle and Arrival “will work together on thought leadership initiatives and R&D efforts” within the whole supply chain both in the US and in Europe. By utilizing Li-Cycle’s breakthrough, commercial lithium-ion battery recycling technologies, end-of-life batteries from Arrival’s EV fleets in the U.S.A and Europe can be transformed into battery grade material that could be used in the production of new batteries for new Arrival vehicles. Arrival is currently engaged in a roadshow throughout Europe. We’ll talk about it quite soon.

As a matter of fact, Li-Cycle’s technologies will facilitate Arrival’s ability to minimize the lifecycle impact of batteries, improving its recycling and resource recovery infrastructure. At the same time, Arrival will support Li-Cycle’s ability to advance its patented technologies in line with next generation battery technology, while also continuing to improve its resource recovery efficiency.
