Welcome to RECYCLE100 the 9^th International Secondary Lead and Battery Recycling Conference

Time flies—and so does innovation in our industry! Fourteen years ago, we gathered in Macau, China, for the very first Secondary Lead Conference, bringing together all sectors of the lead-acid battery recycling and smelting industry. Since then, this conference has evolved into a platform for critical discussions, debates, and shared learning. Over time, the battery recycling world has expanded, and now, we find ourselves on the cusp of an exciting new era: Lithium-ion battery recycling.

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.

With great pleasure, I invite you to RECYCLE100, the 9th International Secondary Lead and Battery Recycling Conference. This year’s event will dive deep into both technical and market aspects of battery recycling across multiple chemistries.

Mark your calendars for Monday, September 1st, and Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025, when the conference will take place at the beautiful Hilton Kota Kinabalu, right before the 21st Asian Battery Conference and Exhibition.

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

With the continued support of our industry partners and loyal sponsors, I warmly welcome delegates and their partners to join us in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo for what promises to be an insightful and impactful event.

Warm regards,

Mark Stevenson
