ULAB Recycling Facility
Nexus Recycling
CLE obtained the all-important planning approval for the first used lead-acid battery recycling facility in Western Australia in 2020.
This Nexus Recycling facility enables the separation, packaging and shipping of battery components for re-use in new batteries. Given the service had previously only been available in the Eastern States, there are significant environmental and safety benefits, including a reduction in long-haul transport requirements and associated emissions.
The facility represents a critical step forward in establishing a more sustainable and locally supported circular economy within Western Australia, providing essential infrastructure to manage hazardous waste responsibly while supporting the growing demand for battery recycling and resource recovery.
