Process

From Spent Battery to Certified Ingot

Collect & Receive

Spent lead-acid batteries arrive at our facility from collection networks across the Americas.

Break & Separate

Mechanical breaking sorts batteries into lead paste, metallic grids, polypropylene casings, and acid. Each stream is isolated.

Smelt & Reduce

Lead paste and grids enter rotary furnaces engineered for precise temperature control. The result: uniform crude bullion.

Refine & Certify

Proprietary de-coppering plus Harris-process refining strips Cu, Bi, Ag, and Sb to parts-per-million levels. Every batch is lab-assayed.

Ship

25 kg ingots palletized, loaded at Puerto Cabello, and delivered FOB or CIF. Transit to Houston or Miami: 5–7 days.

Sustainability

The Most Recycled Product on Earth. We Keep It That Way.

Lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate — higher than aluminum cans, paper, or glass. Every ingot we produce comes from a spent battery that would otherwise sit in a landfill. Our closed-loop process recovers the lead, the plastic, and the acid. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is mined.
