Li-Cycle

Li-Cycle is a Canadian lithium-ion battery recycling business. The available evidence identifies the commercial entity as Li-Cycle and states that it became part of Glencore plc after being acquired on August 8, 2025. Glencore describes the acquisition as supporting continued value and enhanced service for their joint customers. The supplied evidence does not detail Li-Cycle’s recycling processes, product portfolio, facility locations, customer base, or current leadership. Accordingly, this dossier does not make specific claims about those matters. Li-Cycle is presented on Glencore’s website within its recycling activities, and the official site states that future information will be provided through Glencore.

Li-Cycle was established as a Canadian lithium-ion battery recycling business. The available evidence does not provide a detailed account of its founding, early operations, technology development, facilities, or commercial expansion, so those stages cannot be described reliably here. A major documented change in the company’s history occurred in 2025. Li-Cycle’s official web presence, now hosted as a page within Glencore’s recycling section, states that Glencore plc acquired Li-Cycle as of August 8, 2025. Glencore’s announcement says it is confident the acquisition will bring continued value and enhanced service to their joint customers. The official page also indicates that future information about Li-Cycle will be provided through Glencore. The available sources do not establish details about Li-Cycle’s post-acquisition operating structure, leadership, facilities, specific recycled materials, or customer agreements. This history therefore records the acquisition and current relationship to Glencore without adding unsupported operational or financial detail.
