Canada is investing C$8.4 million in critical minerals recycling technology at two companies in Kingston, Ontario, which will support the electric vehicle supply chain.

Cyclic Materials (CM) will receive C$4.9 million and Green Graphite Technologies (GGT) will receive C$3.5 million. CM will build a demonstration plant to produce high-purity rare earth oxide and a cobalt-nickel hydroxide product from recycling materials. While GGT will advance its GraphRenew technology to transform used graphite into a material that can be reused.

This is important news for Kingston, and beyond,” said Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson.
