+> We will be seeing volume increases, we believe, from that supply agreement as soon as we're commissioned, and we're actually going to be looking at other battery chemistries being supplied from Call2Recycle, but having that supply agreement is absolutely critical. We can have the permits in hand - we have an environmental compliance approval in place, we have a line which is technologically one of the most advanced lines in North America for processing, but if you don't have enough battery supply agreement, it doesn't matter - and we do have that.

 EVSX operates a battery-recycling facility based in the Thorold Multimodal Hub, in Thorold, Ontario.
+> The Thorold location that we have is, to me, probably one of the most ideal locations in Canada. It's located in the Golden Horseshoe and it's in one of the most populated hubs in the country. So, you know, we're centrally located in the largest automotive cluster in North America. We've got 35,000 square feet, which is right in - I think a some-400-acre multimodal industrial complex. We're adjacent to the Welland Canal, we have access to rail, ... in terms of location to install a plant, I really don't think it gets better.

 ==== Multi-chemistry line ====
-> EVSX has three very highly-automated processing lines ... It's a line that can actually process the recycling of batteries with very minimal labour. The batteries drop into one section of the line.  They go through a series of hammers and shredders and shaking tables and so on - magnetic separation and so on. The paper is separated from the plastic, the metals, the steel, the aluminum, and the battery metals (so the nickel, the cobalt, etc.). What we do is we effectively repurpose all of those materials back into the supply [chain] ... We're able to process well over 16 types of different types of battery chemistries. Irregular batteries (like batteries that are too small), batteries that are deemed to be too resource-intensive by certain processors - we can virtually do anything, so alkaline, nickel-cadmium, lithium, lithium-ion, EV batteries, the whole nine yards. -[[ian_peres|Ian C.
