Ace Green, the Singapore-based battery recycler, has announced the expansion of its lead-acid battery recycling agreement with the Taiwan-based ACME Metal Enterprise to now cover metallic treatment for lead battery recycling.
The firm plans to install its proprietary grids metallics processing system (GMPS), which it claims would allow for ACME to process grids metallics from more than 65 million lbs of lead batteries per year.
The GMPS is expected to be commissioned in Q4 2025, and it would receive dirty metallics from the lead battery breaker and separation system. Clean metallics would be produced to then be melted to produce lead alloys.
The upgraded ACME facility is expected to be capable of producing more than 17 million pounds of refined lead and lead alloys a year.
Linus P. Lu, managing director, ACME, said: “We have witnessed the impressive capabilities of Ace’s innovative and environmentally friendly lead battery recycling technology first-hand through our partnership over the past year. Ace has set the industry standard for solving many of the challenges in recycling lead, and we look forward to expanding how we leverage their technology to meet the growing demand from our automotive and battery manufacturing customers.”
Nishchay Chadha, CEO & co-founder, Ace, said: “ACME is a valued partner to Ace, and this expanded agreement demonstrates more third-party validation of the strength of our recycling solutions. This agreement enables Ace to generate additional revenues and further expand our margins. Advancing our asset-light expansion plans in this important market for Ace strategically positions us for success as we progress in our global expansion plans.”
