March 20, 2025: Nafees Batteries’ new lead battery recycling plant in Qatar has been formally opened by the JMJ Group.

JMJ said the plant, opened on February 27, will process ULAB into high-purity lead alloys as part of plans to boost sustainability across the state.

The company did not release details about the recycling capacity or technology deployed at the plant, but said the facility aims to lower hazardous waste, reduce reliance on imports, and promote energy-efficient industrial practices.

Chairman and MD sheikh Jabor Bin Mansour Bin Jabor Bin Jassim Al Thani, who founded JMJ in 2009 and led the opening ceremony, said: “Nafees Batteries reflects our commitment to sustainable industrial development, turning waste into valuable resources and reinforcing Qatar’s leadership in responsible manufacturing.”

The opening follows JMJ’s launch of the QD Recycling Factory for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals in Qatar in November 2023.
