Ace Green widens recycling push with new lead lithium projects

Ace Green Recycling advances its global expansion with zero-Scope 1 emissions battery recycling systems headed to Taiwan, Thailand and Armenia and more projects planned for 2026.

Ace Green Recycling advanced its global expansion with new equipment shipments to Taiwan, Thailand and Armenia as it works to scale zero-Scope 1 emissions battery recycling.

The company, which produces electrified technology for processing lead and lithium batteries, said the deployments mark major steps in its strategy to establish a global platform for low emission recycling. 

The company said its next set of equipment for a long-running Taiwan partnership with ACME Metal Enterprise is finished and ready for shipment, with arrival expected in early 2026. Ace described the shipment as Phase II of its work with ACME, which operates a battery recycling facility in Keelung City. 

The two companies expanded their partnership through a June 2025 licensing agreement that added Ace’s proprietary Grid Metallics Processing System (GMPS) to the site. 

The Phase II shipment follows the completion of Phase I in 2023 and 2024. During that phase ACME began using Ace’s GREENLEAD technology to process lead batteries through a fully electric system with zero Scope 1 emissions. 

Ace said ACME has since integrated the system into commercial operations. The company expects that once Phase II is commissioned, the facility will have the capacity to process material equal to 2 million car batteries a year, which the company said represents up to 60 million pounds of lead acid battery scrap. 

Ace also reported progress in Thailand, where the company is deploying another GMPS lead recycling line. The firm said equipment shipments remain on schedule for January 2026, with commercial deployment in Thailand planned for March or April 2026. 

Ace said the project is a key part of its Asia expansion strategy and will use its low-temperature GMPS technology to recover refined lead alloys with high efficiency and limited waste while supporting growing regional demand for sustainable battery recycling. 

In Armenia, the company has begun shipping equipment for two projects that will process both lead acid and lithium ion batteries. Ace said the lead system will be shipped in batches through December 2025 and January 2026, while the lithium ion system was shipped in November 2025. The company is targeting April or May 2026 for full commercial production at both Armenian sites. 

These projects build on previously announced licensing agreements with Mel Metal. The company described Mel Metal as a leading nonferrous recycler in Armenia and said the work is part of a plan to build a regional hub for battery materials recovery in the Southern Caucasus. According to Ace, Armenia is expected to support possible future expansion into Georgia and serve as a gateway to European battery materials markets. 

CEO Nishchay Chadha said the company’s current progress supports its broader strategy. 

“We are executing on our vision to establish Ace as a global leader in advanced battery recycling solutions,” Chadha said. “These deployments across Taiwan, Thailand and Armenia represent significant milestones in our international expansion strategy. Our electrified, zero-emissions systems are now proving their scalability across multiple geographies and chemistries, positioning Ace for the next phase of global growth.” 

Ace also described developments at its flagship US site in Silsbee, Texas. The company recently appointed industry veteran Rick Stollsteimer as senior vice president of operations to guide preparations at the facility. Ace plans to deploy its lead acid system there in 2026, followed by a lithium iron phosphate system in 2027. 

The company said it continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its footprint across major markets as it moves into 2026.
