A comprehensive corporate update, including EVSX operations, is forthcoming. This update will cover the Thorold plant, the proposed Italian joint venture for which sites have now been identified and the authorization process clarified, the operational deployment strategy for other jurisdictions, and information regarding the strategies being reviewed to initiate authorization for additional battery chemistries in Ontario and additional jurisdictions under evaluation.
包括EVSX運營在內的全面的公司更新即將發佈。本次更新將涵蓋索羅爾德工廠、擬議的意大利合資企業,該合資企業的場地現已確定,授權程序已得到澄清,其他司法管轄區的運營部署戰略,以及有關正在審查的戰略的信息,以啓動安大略省和其他正在評估的司法管轄區對更多電池化學品的授權。
"(...) Receiving the Ontario Government's Environmental Compliance Approval for our battery processing plant in Thorold is a significant milestone, a testament to our team's effort and dedication. (...) The compliance framework provides a manageable foundation upon which we can improve and establish an operation that will not only meet industry standards but also set a new benchmark for the battery processing industry. (...) As we evolve from concept to operations, we recognize the support of our partners and stakeholders. Their support has been a cornerstone of our maturation, and we look forward to deepening these connections. (...) Our strategy brings recycling and processing resources together. From collection to recycling, optimizing every step of the route is crucial. (...) We are currently fielding opportunities to enable us to advance discussions toward tangible relationships, creating a network of alliances that may redefine the industry. (...) As our operations improve in efficiency and we integrate into the market ecosystem, we will collaborate with entities that could traditionally be seen as competitors but that we see as allies. (...) The advantages of working complementarily rather than competitively are immense. (...) Given the diversity of batteries, each demanding a tailored strategy, our approach is designed to ensure we meet industry challenges head-on. (...) Our goal is to build a solid base camp and grow with the market, adding business segments in-house while limiting the financial and logistical resources stress on our organization. (...) The immediate roadmap includes spearheading initiatives with groups and communities to divert batteries from landfills to our recycling facilities, showcasing our circular economy principles. (...) Today's achievement is not the mountaintop but the announcement of an ambitious and necessary ascent. We're not just participating in the industry; we're aiming to redefine its summit. (...)" commented Enrico Di Cesare, CEO of EVSX Corp.
“(...)我們在索羅爾德的電池加工廠獲得安大略省政府的環境合規批准是一個重要的里程碑,證明了我們團隊的努力和奉獻精神。(...)合規框架爲我們提供了一個可管理的基礎,我們可以在此基礎上改進和建立不僅符合行業標準而且還將爲電池加工行業樹立新基準的業務。(...)在我們從概念發展到運營的過程中,我們認可合作伙伴和利益相關者的支持。他們的支持一直是我們成熟的基石,我們期待加深這些聯繫。(...)我們的戰略將回收和加工資源結合在一起。從收集到回收,優化路線的每一步都至關重要。(...)我們目前正在尋找機會,使我們能夠推進有關切實關係的討論,從而建立一個可能重新定義行業的聯盟網絡。(...)隨着我們的運營效率提高以及我們融入市場生態系統,我們將與傳統上可能被視爲競爭對手但被視爲盟友的實體合作。(...)互補工作而不是競爭性工作的好處是巨大的。(...)鑑於電池的多樣性,每種電池都需要量身定製的策略,我們的方法旨在確保我們直面行業挑戰。(...)我們的目標是建立一個堅實的大本營,與市場一起發展,增加內部業務板塊,同時限制我們組織的財務和物流資源壓力。(...)近期的路線圖包括與團體和社區一起牽頭採取舉措,將電池從垃圾填埋場轉移到我們的回收設施,展示我們的循環經濟原則。(...)今天的成就不是登上山頂,而是宣佈了雄心勃勃和必要的攀登。我們不只是參與這個行業;我們的目標是重新定義其峯會。(...)” EVSX 公司首席執行官恩里科·迪切薩雷評論道
