ACE Green Recycling is a Houston-based and Delaware-incorporated, innovative battery recycling technology platform offering sustainable end-of-life solutions. A new 15-year agreement with the Florida-based company OM Commodities LLC will supply Ace with at least 30,000 metric tons of lead scrap annually.
ACE expects to recycle the material at its planned flagship facility in Texas with production expected to commence in 2026. The level of feedstock is sufficient to cover 100% of Ace’s phase one recycling capacity at the new plant.
Nishchay Chadha, CEO and Co-Founder of Ace, said: “This agreement with OM Commodities, a U.S-based leader in metals doing business across the Americas and Asia with a specialty in lead batteries, will provide us with enough supply to support our Texas facility during all of its current planned phases.”
Yiannis Dumas, President of OM Commodities, said. “We look forward to supporting Ace with lead feedstock as they scale up their operations in Texas and helping create a more circular and sustainable battery materials supply chain in the U.S.”
With more than 1.5 million metric tons of lead battery scrap available for recycling in the U.S. alone, there is a critical gap in smelter capacity to keep valuable lead material within the domestic supply chain. Ace’s GREENLEAD® recycling technology is a fully electric process that produces zero Scope 1 emissions. It is capable of recovering up to 99% of battery-grade lead with more than 99.98% purity. The process is designed to replace legacy smelting operations that are detrimental to the environment and human health due to potential lead poisoning.
For the future ACE and OM Commodities are in active discussions for lithium battery recycling collaborations. ACE has developed technologies to recycle NMC, LFP, LTO & Lead batteries, including battery discharging and battery breaking.
