The Battery Recycling Plant & Equipment Study Tour – China 2026 is a four-day technical visit program jointly organized by ACI and the Global Battery Recycling Hub, designed to provide an in-depth yet time-efficient overview of China’s rapidly evolving battery recycling industry.
Participants will visit6 leading battery recycling plants located in key industrial regions, covering all major stages of the recycling value chain — from collection, 2nd-life utilization, dismantling to black mass production, hydrometallurgical refining, and battery-grade metal salt manufacturing. Each visit will include guided plant tours, technical briefings, and direct discussions with plant managers and engineers, offering first-hand insights into operational practices, equipment performance, and process optimization.
This tour offers an exceptional opportunity for industry professionals to understand China’s latest advancements in large-scale, compliant, and high-quality battery recycling operations, and to explore potential pathways for international cooperation and technology exchange.
