Battery recycling technology company Ace Green Recycling Inc., Houston, recently announced the signing of a multiyear master used lead-acid batteries (ULAB) supply agreement with Gold Star Metals LLC (GSM), a battery recycler and aggregator also based in Houston.
Under the agreement, GSM will supply Ace with a minimum of 30,000 metric tons of ULAB annually, with the ability to scale volumes up to 100,000 metric tons per year as Ace expands operations at its planned flagship facility in Texas, which the company says it expects to begin operations in 2026. Ace says the ULAB will be sourced from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and New Mexico, and will “complement Ace’s existing supply agreements,” providing a pipeline of feedstock for the company’s recycling technology.
