LAB and LIB Battery Recycling Technologies Driving Low-Carbon Material Circularity

We focus on next-generation battery recycling and metal regeneration technologies, with core development covering resource recovery and material reuse for lead-acid batteries (LAB) and lithium-ion batteries (LIB).

Traditional lead-acid battery recycling has largely relied on high-temperature pyrometallurgy. This process is not only energy-intensive, but also generates significant emissions, waste discharge, and operational safety risks. In response to the industry’s low-carbon transition, we are introducing innovative hydrometallurgical and electrolytic recovery technologies. Through processes conducted at room temperature with zero gas emissions, lead materials from lead-acid batteries can be separated, extracted, purified, and regenerated.

In addition to significantly reducing the energy and environmental burden of traditional pyrometallurgical processes, this low-carbon process can also be applied to lead alloys and compounds. Its modular design further increases flexibility in investment and production capacity planning.

In the field of lithium-ion batteries, we continue to expand technologies for the recovery and reuse of key materials from different battery systems, including ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries. With the rapid growth of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and electronic devices, lithium-ion battery recycling will become an important part of future energy material circularity.

Our goal is to establish a battery recycling technology platform that is low-carbon, highly efficient, and highly scalable, transforming waste batteries from an environmental burden into an important material source for the energy industry.
