INDIA

4. OUR MAJOR BUSINESS VERTICALS… • Turnkey Projects • Lead Recycling, Smelting and Refining Plants: End to End Solutions • Process & Pollution control Technology • Technical Consultancy to establish Lead Battery Recycling Projects • Manufacturing Operations • Lead Smelting, Refining, Alloying, Oxides (LSO, Red Lead & Litharge) • International Business • Import & Mercantile export of Lead Raw Materials & • finished Products ” Continuous R & D with Operational Excellence creates difference ”

5. WHY LEAD RECYCLING… ? • Lead Battery Scrap is a Hazardous waste and unsafe disposal creates Environmental / Health problems. • Careful Recycling is essential, beneficial & cost effective in comparison to its safe disposal cost. • Secondary Production of Lead (Recycling) from Scrap results in less Solid Wastes, uses less energy & reduces the consumption of minerals resources compared to the Lead Production from Ores.

6. BATTERY RECYCLING CYCLE… Lead is the 5th most widely used Metal on earth Lead has highest rate of recycling among all Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals Lead is only metal on earth which retains its 100% Chemical & Physical properties, irrespective of any number of recycling Worldwide production of secondary Lead has increased substantially in the past decade.
