History 1923 Sam Kinsbursky established an independent scrap - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

History  1923 Sam Kinsbursky established an independent scrap collection business in Los Angeles using a horse and wagon.  1929 the business begins collecting scrap in a motorized vehicle.  1957 Kinsbursky Brothers is incorporated in East Los Angeles on a 30,000 ft 2 facility.  1977 Business relocated to Anaheim where it remains today.  1989 Kinsbursky Brothers becomes the first and only permitted battery recycling facility in California.  Today the Kinsbursky family is still actively involved in the day to day operations and guiding the next generation towards the future. 2

In 2010 KBI installed a solar array. The panels provide clean energy for all of the recycling operations.

Lithium Ion Batteries

Lancaster, Ohio  Part B permitted battery recycling operation since 2005  Recycles multiple battery chemistries:  Lead acid  Nickel cadmium  Nickel metal hydride  Alkaline (household batteries)  Recycles 50 million lbs annually  180,000 Sq. Ft., 36 acres.  Produces:  Lead  Ferro nickel  Cadmium  Zinc Home of the BGB!  Manganese

True Alkaline Battery Recycling! • Alkaline process in full production – April 2015 • Retriev’s patented technology provides a manganese dioxide raw material to Energizer • Zinc, steel and non ferrous metals are also recovered for recycling • Achieves a recycle efficiency >90% • Energizer’s goal is to increase the recycled manganese content in ECO advanced batteries from 4% to 40%

• Initial Li Ion recycling line commissioning June 2015 expanding the Trail BC process • 20,000 lbs./day capacity • Recycles manufacturing scrap, large format modules, packs, cells and consumer batteries • Patented cathode and anode recovery technology

HEV – EV Database Overview

Battery Pack Disassembly and Reporting • Complete battery pack recovery and disassembly reports are completed for our OEM clients • Over 100 reports have been provided our clients to date • Batteries disassembled to cell level • Cathode Analysis • Anode Analysis • Recyclability review • Photographic and detailed guide for disassembly is generated

HEV – EV Database  Launched Spring 2014 (Internal)  Web Based  Technical Information:  Packs – Modules – Cells  Pricing Information:  Costs – Metal Market Info

Brea, California  KBI Established battery technology center in 2015  Hybrid battery remanufacturing supporting OEM hybrid vehicle producers  Tier 1 Toyota supplier for remanufactured NiMH batteries  Provides new battery product storage, inventory management, and direct to dealer distribution  Provide logistics support related to battery transportation and direct from dealer battery recoveries  Contract field services for recovery of damaged or nonresponsive large format electric vehicle batteries  Service the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico

Planned expansion Planned expansion  Planned increase to 27 diagnostic cabinets utilizing mechanical automated probe system for connection  Each Cabinet to be self contained utilizing programmable power supplies  27 cabinets provides theoretical maximum capacity of 61 batteries on charge  Probe system to be utilized for OCV / ACIR gate check  Expansion of chiller for circuitry temperature control

Moving beyond Recycling • .  KBT continues to develop additional battery pack testing and repair capabilities  Module replacements  Seeking lower costs solutions for end of life management through the re-purposing of eligible batteries  Working with OEM battery producers and automotive clients  Energy storage and stationary systems  Researching integration of telemetric battery management systems  Research to integrate energy storage systems at OEM customer locations including  Dealers  Manufacturing facilities We want to provide our clients the opportunity to give their batteries a second life and the ability to use these systems in their own operations.

Additional services  Customer access to portal system provides instant information and status of batteries  Battery removal and vehicle destruction services  Certificates of destruction / recycling  Regulatory Assistance

Future and Challenges in Electric/Hybrid Vehicles  Estimate a 10 year battery life in vehicle  Does not include second life applications  Lithium ion batteries not to be available for recycling until after 2020 (Predicated on secondary applications and other market conditions)

The Future Opportunities Challenges  Market growth --- Lithium ion  Balance between recycling costs and recoveries  commodity price sensitivity  Produce value-added products through upcycling:  pack disassembly variability  battery - cathode precursors  uncertainty of raw material supply  recovery of carbon  recovery of plastics  Lack of harmonized chemistries and form factors  remanufacturing and reuse markets  Ever changing landscape --- technical, market, regulatory
