August 15, 2025: Technical experts from around the globe will be among delegates in Malaysia next month for RECYCLE100 — the 9th International Secondary Lead and Battery Recycling Conference.

The event will be held on September 1 and 2, in the run-up to the 21st Asian Battery Conference and Exhibition (21ABC) at the stunning Hilton Kota Kinabalu, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo.

This year’s program will dive deep into both technical and market aspects of battery recycling across multiple chemistries.

Mark Stevenson, conference chair for RECYCLE100, said the event had evolved into a platform for critical discussions, debates and shared learning since, 14 years ago, delegates gathered in Macau, China, for the very first Secondary Lead Conference.

That conference brought together all sectors of the lead acid battery recycling and smelting industry.

Since then, the international battery recycling landscape has expanded, and now, we find ourselves on the cusp of an exciting new era — lithium ion battery recycling, Stevenson said.

“In response to this rapid development, even traditional lead recycling companies are investing in their knowledge and capabilities, preparing to meet the challenges and opportunities posed by this new frontier.”

While the industry is evolving, the core themes of our conference remain unchanged, he said.

“You’ll hear from global experts in recycling, smelting, and environmental sustainability as they share best practices for collecting, processing, and recovering valuable elements — whether from lead acid or lithium batteries.

“Our commitment is clear: to responsibly manage valuable resources and ensure waste is disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, all while protecting the health and safety of our workers.”
