Algeria / France | Eco-Recyclage, an Algeria based battery recycling company, commenced activities this month at a new facility in Aïn Ouassara, 200 kilometres south of Algiers. The company, in which French Recylex SA holds a 33.33% stake, received its license to operate and has launched its production.
It is Recylex’s first international development outside its countries of origin (France, Germany and Belgium). The Eco-Recyclage factory designed by Recylex engineers is a processing centre for used car batteries. In a full year the site will have an annual processing capacity of 20,000 tonnes of used batteries. For the record, Recylex currently processes about 130,000 tonnes of used batteries a year in Europe.
Recylex’s presence in Algeria through Eco Recyclage reflects Recylex’s ambition to export its unique expertise in used battery processing with priority being given to emerging markets that have not yet been consolidated.
Suresnes based Recylex specializes in recycling lead and plastic from automobile and industrial batteries, recycling zinc from steel mill dust, and producing zinc oxides and special metals for the electronics industry. It operates in France, Germany and Belgium.
