UAE's first battery recycling plant is operational: The UAE's first battery recycling plant Dubatt has been inaugurated in Dubai Industrial City, Wam reports. Dubatt broke ground on the AED 110 mn plant nearly two years ago and it is set to be the first fully integrated used lead acid battery (ULAB) recycling facility capable of recycling around 80% of the UAE’s lead battery waste.

The details: The plant includes a battery breaker with a capacity of 10 tons per hour, a 4 cubic meter smelter, and four refinery kettles. The plant will have an annual capacity of processing up to 50k metric tons. Italian lithium battery producer Seri Industrial provided the plant's tech and machinery.

More UAE battery recycling in the works: UAE waste management company Bee'ah Group signed an agreement with Indian lithium-ion battery recycling firm Lohum last December to establish the UAE’s first EV battery repurposing facility.
