Forklift battery maker UgoWork has signed an agreement with Lithion Recycling to recycle its lithium-ion batteries for material handling applications, the Canadian firms said Tuesday.

The agreement, which initially covers North America, marks a step forward in the growing market for recycling lithium-ion forklift batteries. It includes recycling tests of several generations of batteries produced by UgoWork at Lithion's demonstration plant in Montreal, along with development of a commercial collection, transportation, and recovery process to promote sustainable and efficient lithium-ion battery recycling.

“This collaboration with UgoWork is a great example of Quebec synergies through the lithium-ion battery industry and is fully aligned with our desire to grow this sector in Quebec," Lithion’s President Benoit Couture, said in a statement. “It is important to promote local recycling and to offer a competitive advantage to companies like UgoWork in the face of sustainable development objectives and end-of-life management requirements for lithium batteries.”

“Recycling battery components that reached their end-of-life is perfectly aligned with our sustainable product development approach,” Philippe Beauchamp, co-founder and CEO of UgoWork, said in a statement. "Joining forces with Lithion, which has strong partnerships with companies such as Hyundai Canada, reflects our commitment to our customers and will help support our continued growth in North America."

DCV-TV 4: Viewer Contributed
Lately people have been asking me a pressing question: “Mike, if there’s a freight recession headed our way, shouldn’t we be seeing freight rates and our freight costs going down?”Ideally the answer to that question would just simply be “yes.” However, these are not simple times. Which is why the answer to this...
