(together \"New Flyer\"), subsidiaries of NFI Group Inc. (\"NFI\"), one of the world's leading independent global bus manufacturers, today announced the successful completion of a battery recycling pilot with\n \n North America's\n \n largest lithium-ion battery recycler, Li-Cycle Corporation (\"Li-Cycle\").\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Li-Cycle offers a proprietary, closed loop lithium-ion battery resource recovery service producing minimal solid waste, and zero liquid and air emissions that can sustainably produce battery grade lithium, cobalt, and nickel products. The pilot is Li-Cycle's first program in the heavy duty vehicle space.\n \n \n New Flyer provided Li-Cycle with 45 end-of-life lithium-ion battery modules (used for research and development) totaling 3,200 pounds to be processed at Li-Cycle's Spoke facility and turned into black mass, which is then further refined to recover critical materials such as nickel and cobalt.\n \n \n \"As our customers transition to zero-emission mobility, they do so with a focus on cradle to grave sustainability. The demand for battery recycling is growing, so too is the desire to lessen environmental impact on our communities. Our pilot with Li-Cycle is delivering just this and we are optimistic in offering battery recycling in future,\" said\n \n Chris Stoddart\n \n , President, New Flyer and MCI. \"We're committed to providing sustainable mobility solutions from procurement through vehicle retirement. Working with Li-Cycle delivers a triple sustainability benefit: we recover critical resources a...
