China’s Miracle Automation, Japan’s Mitsui Team Up on Green Battery Recycling Plant
Chinese automated equipment maker Miracle Automation Engineering, which has been branching out into the recycling of electric car batteries in recent years, is linking arms with Japanese conglomerate Mitsui to build an eco-friendly recycling factory for used batteries.
Miracle Automation will build a green factory in China for the recycling, dismantling, crushing and pre-treatment of scrap lithium batteries as well as the recycling, regeneration and utilization of major constituents of lithium batteries, it said yesterday, citing the memorandum of understanding signed between the two parties. No further details about the plant were given.
Should the tie-up in China be a success, the two companies will team up on building low-energy-consumption pre-processing plants for used batteries overseas and engage in the trade of recycled battery materials, the Wuxi, eastern Jiangsu province-based company added.
The pair will leverage Tokyo-based Mitsui’s strong global industrial and sales networks as well as its financial strengths, and make use of Miracle Automation’s business and technological expertise in salvaging batteries to build an industrial ecosystem for battery recycling.
