Liminal by WMC, in partnership with its joint venture & feedstock provider, is developing a state-of-the-art cobalt refinery in Eastern Canada. The location was strategically chosen for its proximity to the local EV-battery ecosystem, low-cost green electricity, local reagent supply, efficient transport infrastructure and streamlined permitting process.

In partnership with a leading Dutch waste battery collection company, Liminal by WMC is developing a lithium-ion battery pre-treatment recycling and metal extraction facility in the Netherlands to promote circularity and support sustainability within the EV battery supply chain. By leveraging existing infrastructure, environmental permits and established feedstock relationships, the project is set to fast-track development. The facility will process 2,000–3,000 tonnes per year of high-value mixed metal product (nickel, cobalt, manganese) and lithium carbonate from EV, portable, industrial and eBike batteries across multiple chemistries (NMC, LCO, NCA). We will also offer innovative batch processing for LFP batteries, with lithium carbonate and ferric phosphate as separate product streams.
