Call2Recycle Canada and EVSX have partnered to launch EVSX's new battery processing plant in Thorold, Ontario. This facility will recycle the increasing volumes of alkaline and carbon zinc batteries collected through Call2Recycle's battery recycling program in Ontario and other provinces.

Located at the Bioveld Complex in Niagara, this new facility boasts a processing capacity of 4,200 tons of alkaline batteries per year, achieving an 87.7 percent ratio of battery components effectively recycled (RER or recycling efficiency rate). The addition of this facility supports the increasing volumes of alkaline batteries recycled by Canadians and collected by Call2Recycle (+21 percent collection growth nationally since 2023, with Ontario contributing approximately 40 percent of these volumes). Both organizations will also work with St-Georges Metallurgy (SXM) to transform black mass and develop agricultural fertilizer products.
