Problem
The increasing demand for batteries in electronics, automotive, and energy storage is creating a surge in battery waste. Traditional battery recycling methods often rely on energy-intensive processes and generate significant Scope 1 carbon emissions, failing to provide truly sustainable end-of-life solutions.
Solution
ACE Green Recycling offers a sustainable battery recycling technology platform that recovers valuable materials from end-of-life lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries using proprietary, 100% electrified, hydrometallurgical processes. Their modular recycling plants produce zero Scope 1 carbon emissions and comply with stringent regulations in the EU and the USA. By collaborating across the battery ecosystem, ACE aims to create localized circular solutions, retaining critical battery materials within countries generating battery waste and fostering domestic battery material resilience.
Target Audience
ACE Green Recycling serves battery aggregators, black mass producers, battery OEMs, recyclers, refineries, auto companies, second-life players, and commodity trading companies seeking sustainable and efficient battery recycling solutions.
