The 15,340sqm plant will use cutting-edge technology to recycle lithium batteries
Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi–KEZAD Group has announced the signing of a 50-year land lease agreement for the establishment of a state-of-the-art plant in Taweelah, KEZAD.
Witthal Gulf Industries will invest AED 40mn for the project that will establish the UAE’s first lithium battery recycling plant in KEZAD. As both KEZAD Group and Witthal Gulf Industries envision a sustainable future for industrial development, the collaboration is slated to create a robust infrastructure for responsible recycling of lithium batteries.
The plant will leverage cutting-edge technology for recycling end-of-phase batteries used in manufacturing industries, particularly electric vehicles, solar farms and other renewable energy systems to recover valuable materials such as black mass, copper and aluminium, and produce sustainable alternatives.
“KEZAD Group is excited to facilitate and support a project that offers sustainable solutions for industry waste, and aligns with the UAE’s net zero goals,” commented Abdullah Al Hameli, CEO, Economic Cities and Free Zones, AD Ports Group.
“We are confident that with our shared goals for sustainability, we will continue to push boundaries, address market demands responsibly and ignite a new era of growth for both parties,” remarked Suresh Kumar Nalappa, CEO, Witthal Gulf Industries.
