RecycLiCo Battery Materials has confirmed that its construction permit applications for a new research and process‑development laboratory in Delta, British Columbia, have been approved by the local authority.
With the laboratory design finalised and permits secured, RecycLiCo has already moved forward with early site preparation. This proactive step is intended to reduce schedule risk and keep the project firmly on track. Construction activity will now accelerate, with the company targeting substantial completion in early 2026.
The Delta facility is set to play a central role in advancing RecycLiCo’s technologies for resource recovery from critical minerals and metals. It will also strengthen operational readiness for future commercial deployment. By expanding its research capacity, the company aims to refine processes that respond to shifting market conditions and evolving industry requirements.
RecycLiCo is a critical minerals refiner using advanced hydrometallurgical technologies to process mined ore and upcycle lithium‑ion batteries. Its methods recover battery‑grade lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese from end‑of‑life cells and scrap, supporting energy storage and wider industry.
The new laboratory represents a significant milestone for the company’s growth strategy, supporting innovation in battery recycling and upcycling.
