Identifying and vetting reliable, ethical downstream recycling resources

• ITeC has invested more than 2 years developing our Global Partner Network (GPN) of downstream processors

• All GPN members must pass stringent screening requirements which include:

  • Compliance with country/local regulatory, licensing, and permitting requirements

  • R2 compliance

  • Financial viability auditS

  • Onsite operations, health, and safety audits

Maximizing efficiency of transporting materials to downstream vendors

• ITeC takes legal ownership of materials at your dock

• ITeC has assembled a team of global logistics partners who provide:

  • Compliance with EPA, Basel TFS, and EU Hazardous Materials Shipment Regulations (Annex VII) 

  • Efficient shipping routes and modes from any origin point to any of our GPN destinations

  • Export/import services as required by origin and destination countries
    ​

Ensuring compliance and accountability of downstream vendors

• ITeC performs all vendor management activities:

  • ​Periodic audits of logistics and GPN partners to ensure ongoing compliance with our standards

  • Traceability of materials from pickup to final disposition

  • Recycling efficiency and mass balance reporting

  • Ongoing regulatory/ permitting compliance monitoring

  • Video monitoring of recycling operations (in process)

  • Client is welcome for onsite audits but never needs to engage with downstream vendors directly

Growing and adjusting downstream capacity requirements

• ITeC operates the highest capacity, most flexible battery processing network in the industry

• Current ITeC global processing capacity of 3,000MT will double by 2021 and double again by 2022

• Our evolving global network will have processing capability on three continents by 2021, not only ensuring industry-leading capacity but increasing process proximity and reducing transport costs

Mitigating risks and impact of unpredictable downstream issues

• ITeC takes ownership of materials from your dock to the recycling destination

• ITeC has comprehensive commercial, umbrella, shipping, and related insurances and can indemnify its clients in the case of any legal or financial damages that may arise from downstream processing activities

• Where required, ITeC can also provide an insurance bond or financial guarantee to ensure the proper handling of materials in the event of a processor failure
