Ace and ACME Boost Lead Battery Recycling Capacity

According to a recent announcement from Ace Green Recycling, Inc., a leading provider of sustainable battery recycling technologies, the company has expanded its licensing agreement with ACME Metal Enterprise, a leading lead recycler. This development builds on their successful collaboration in 2024, when ACME began utilizing Ace’s GREENLEAD® technology at its Taiwan facility.

The expanded agreement will see Ace install its proprietary Grid Metallics Processing System (GMPS) at ACME’s facility, allowing the processing of metallics from more than 65 million pounds of lead batteries annually. This new system is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2025, according to Ace’s official website.

The GMPS technology processes ‘dirty’ metallics from the lead battery separation system, refining them into clean metallics, which can then be used to produce valuable lead alloys. With this technological upgrade, ACME’s facility will be capable of producing over 17 million pounds of refined lead and lead alloys each year, enough to support the production of more than 1 million car batteries, the company reported.

In a statement, Linus P. Lu, Managing Director of ACME, expressed confidence in Ace’s technology, noting that the partnership has demonstrated the effectiveness of Ace’s environmentally friendly and innovative recycling solutions. “Ace has set the industry standard for solving many of the challenges in lead battery recycling,” Lu added.

Nishchay Chadha, CEO and Co-Founder of Ace, also commented on the expansion, highlighting that this agreement further validates the effectiveness of the company’s 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.” Chadha said.

This expanded partnership underscores the growing demand for sustainable battery recycling solutions as the global market for electric vehicles and energy storage systems continues to expand.
