Call2Recycle Canada Inc. and St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. announced they have jointly entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to sort and process battery volume with St-Georges' wholly owned battery recycling subsidiary, EVSX. Processing will take place at the Bioveld Complex under the umbrella of the Thorold Multimodal Hub and the Hopa Port Authority in Niagara, Ontario.

The collaboration between Call2Recycle and EVSX speaks to the innovation and environmental leadership of both organizations. The Niagara, Ontario location ties into both companies' strategies to reduce costs, transportation time and overall carbon footprint while supporting the local economy. In working together, EVSX will bring its leading technology to maximize metal recovery and full circle battery recycling in their processing capabilities while Call2Recycle brings the scale of its vast recycling network in Ontario along with 25 years of experience across Canada in support of creating a safer, cleaner Ontario for the future.

The MOU provides the opportunity to realize significant environmental and economic benefits in Ontario through greater synergies in the battery recycling ecosystem. This joint arrangement supports Call2Recycle's plan for the continued growth of battery collection volume in Ontario across multiple chemistries (including single-use alkaline), creating a more sustainable supply chain and further reducing its carbon footprint. This opportunity for diversification, heightened sorting and processing capabilities provided by EVSX, and excellent transport infrastructure represents real momentum in Call2Recycle's mission to increase battery collection volume in Ontario.
