FAQ: Ace Green Recycling's Sustainable Battery Recycling Technology and Mission
Summary
Ace Green Recycling is a global technology company developing zero-emission processes to sustainably recycle both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, creating circular supply chains for critical battery materials while eliminating environmental pollution from traditional recycling methods.
What is Ace Green Recycling and what does the company do?
Ace Green Recycling is a U.S.-based green recycling technology company that provides sustainable, end-of-life solutions for batteries using proprietary technologies to recycle both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries through fully electrified processes.
What makes Ace Green Recycling’s technology unique compared to traditional battery recycling?
Their processes produce zero Scope 1 carbon emissions, zero toxic water, and zero solid waste, replacing polluting smelting with cleaner hydrometallurgical approaches that operate at room temperature and use modular, electrified systems.
What are Ace’s two core technology platforms and what do they achieve?
GREENLEAD® recovers up to 99% of battery-grade lead with over 99.98% purity from lead-acid batteries, while LithiumFirst recovers up to 80% of lithium at >99% purity from LFP batteries.
Why was Ace Green Recycling founded and what inspired its creation?
CEO Nishchay Chadha was inspired by witnessing unsafe and environmentally harmful recycling practices firsthand, combined with recognizing a market gap for a global platform that could bring structure to the fragmented recycling industry through clean technology and ethical practices.
What is the geographical scope of Ace Green Recycling’s operations?
The company has global operations across North America, Europe, and Asia, with a modular, scalable design that allows deployment across different geographies.
What types of lithium-ion battery chemistries can Ace Green Recycling process?
They can recycle lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) chemistries, with LithiumFirst technology specifically targeting LFP batteries where they have an early-mover advantage.
What are the key environmental benefits of Ace’s recycling processes?
Their technologies eliminate Scope 1 carbon emissions, prevent toxic water discharge, produce no solid waste, and dramatically reduce health risks and permitting hurdles compared to traditional smelting operations.
How does Ace’s approach contribute to supply chain security?
By creating localized circular supply chains, countries can retain valuable battery materials domestically instead of exporting waste and reimporting refined materials, strengthening supply-chain security while cutting emissions.
What experience does CEO Nishchay Chadha bring to the company?
He has nearly two decades of experience in metals, mining, and recycling, having previously worked at Vedanta Resources and Trafigura before founding Ace Green Recycling.
