Ace Green’s GMPS Transforms Antimony Recovery and Lead Battery Recycling

Revolutionary GMPS Technology Enhances Lead Battery Recycling

Battery recyclers face mounting pressure to modernize and address global material shortages—especially for antimony. In response, Ace Green Recycling Inc. in Houston launched its Grid Metallics Processing System (GMPS).
The system helps recyclers recover metals more efficiently through a cleaner, non-smelting method. GMPS operates at room temperature and recovers clean lead alloy directly from battery-breaking lines. This eliminates the need for traditional, high-temperature smelting.

The technology boosts recovery rates for critical alloying elements like antimony and tin. These metals are often lost during conventional smelting.
GMPS provides two key benefits: increased throughput and conservation of valuable resources. With GMPS, processors can raise capacity by up to 25% without expanding existing smelting operations. This results in significant cost savings and higher efficiency.

Ace Green is already deploying GMPS in several emerging markets. These include Armenia (Mel Metals), Taiwan (Acme Metal Enterprises), India (Raj Metal Industries), and Thailand (IPP Lead and Metals). As global demand for recycled battery materials rises, GMPS could become central to sustainable battery metal recovery.

GMPS Tackles Antimony Supply Issues Amid Chinese Export Limits

The global antimony supply chain is tightening due to China’s recent export restrictions. China remains the world’s largest antimony producer.
Ace Green’s GMPS provides a practical solution by improving metal recovery from lead battery scrap. This reduces dependency on mined antimony and supports more stable pricing for recyclers. It also helps build a more sustainable, closed-loop recycling model.

GMPS separates grid metallics and uses a room-temperature chemical wash to clean the metals. This approach preserves valuable elements that high-heat processes usually destroy. Co-founder and CTO Vipin Tyagi says GMPS addresses two critical problems. It increases smelting efficiency and prevents loss of essential alloying materials. The result is cleaner alloys and lower environmental impact.

Interest in GMPS continues to grow, especially in raw material-constrained regions. Its scalable and low-energy design supports global sustainability goals and resource security priorities.

SuperMetalPrice Commentary:

Ace Green’s GMPS is more than a tech upgrade—it’s a timely solution to growing supply risks. By recovering antimony and tin without smelting, GMPS supports both sustainability and profitability.
As supply chains tighten and demand for circular materials increases, this technology gains strategic value. Its rising adoption across Asia shows the market’s shift toward low-carbon, high-efficiency recycling systems.
GMPS could soon set a new global standard for battery metal recovery.
