Re-Teck Renewable Battery Solutions LLC. Inaugurates State-of-the-Art Battery Recycling Facility in Grand Prairie, Texas

GRAND PRAIRIE, TX – [July 10, 2024] —Re-Teck Renewable Battery Solutions LLC., a newly established division of the globally recognized Li-Tong Group (LTG), proudly announces the operational commencement of its cutting-edge battery recycling facility in Grand Prairie, Texas. This advanced facility, distinguished as the first in Texas to secure comprehensive environmental and operational accreditations, epitomizes unprecedented advancements in the U.S. battery recycling sector, incorporating sophisticated technical solutions and environmental stewardship.

Technological Excellence and Facility Capabilities

Occupying a strategic location on Re-Teck’s expansive campus, this facility extends over 50,000 square feet and is outfitted with the latest in battery processing technology. It is meticulously designed to accommodate a diverse range of battery chemistries, initially concentrating on lithium-ion polymer and batteries utilized in electric vehicles. The facility boasts significant processing capabilities:

• Cylindrical Batteries (Metal Enclosure): Achieving processing rates of up to 120 lbs per hour, culminating in 900 lbs daily.
• Soft Pack Batteries: Facilitating up to 240 lbs per hour, amassing 1,800 lbs daily.

Supporting these capabilities are several pioneering technological innovations:

• Anoxic Processing Chambers: These chambers leverage nitrogen to create an oxygen-free environment, mitigating the risk of combustion and enhancing safety during the battery dismantling process.
• Advanced Material Separation Systems: The facility employs an array of precise sorting technologies, including magnets, eddy currents, and sophisticated sieving mechanisms, to efficiently segregate valuable materials from waste.
• Rigorous Emission Controls: Emission controls are stringently enforced, with particular focus on maintaining particulate matter (PM) emissions at 0.6 lbs/ton, PM10 at 2.42 lbs/ton, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at 14.45 lbs/ton of raw battery feed.

Comprehensive Regulatory Compliance

Re-Teck Renewable Battery Solutions LLC. has diligently obtained all requisite licenses and permits essential for the Grand Prairie facility’s operation, ensuring full adherence to stringent environmental and operational standards. These include:

– Air Quality Permit: Sanctioned by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this permit prescribes specific emission thresholds and operational stipulations to minimize environmental impact.

– Initial Construction and Operation Permit: A fundamental authorization that sanctions both the construction and operational phases of the recycling plant, confirming compliance with pertinent regulatory frameworks.

– Hazardous Waste Handling Permit: This critical permit governs the management and disposal of hazardous by-products generated during the battery recycling processes.

Environmental Impact and Carbon Emission Mitigation

The strategic localization of battery recycling operations at the Grand Prairie facility substantially curtails the carbon emissions traditionally associated with the transoceanic shipment of batteries for processing. Specifically, transporting one TEU of batteries overseas typically results in emissions of approximately 1.1 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. By processing domestically, these emissions are significantly reduced, supporting broader environmental sustainability initiatives.

Market Expansion and Industry Leadership

With the rapid escalation of the electric vehicle (EV) market in the U.S., projected to constitute 30% of new vehicle sales by 2030, the demand for sophisticated battery recycling solutions is burgeoning. It is estimated that annually, the EV and consumer electronics sectors in the United States generate upwards of 15,000 tons of lithium-ion batteries necessitating recycling. This demand is poised to expand exponentially with the growth of the EV market.

Strategic Client Partnerships

Re-Teck Renewable Battery Solutions LLC. has secured its position as an industry vanguard, maintaining robust affiliations with all premier OEMs within the consumer electronics realm. Recently, the company has expanded its clientele to include numerous leading global EV OEMs and key stakeholders within the battery supply ecosystem, including entities involved with charging stations, energy storage solutions, infrastructure networks, and renewable energy projects like wind and solar farms.

Commitment to Global Sustainability

The introduction of Re-Teck Renewable Battery Solutions LLC. marks a significant expansion of Li-Tong Group’s commitment to global sustainability and technological innovation in the recycling industry. This division is set to lead the establishment and expansion of similar facilities across the United States and Europe, aspiring to redefine industry standards through efficiency and responsible environmental practices.
