Vietnamese battery and energy storage manufacturer VinES and Li-Cycle, a leading American battery materials recycling company, have secured a long-term strategic agreement to cooperate on critical material recovery. The agreement outlines that from 2024 Li-Cycle will become VineES’ preferred recycling partner for Vietnamese-sourced battery materials.
