KEZAD Group and Witthal Gulf Industries LLC signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Automechanika Dubai 2024 to establish the UAE’s first lithium battery recycling facility. Scheduled for full operation by Q2 2027, the plant will recycle up to 5,000 tonnes of battery waste annually, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 20,000 tonnes each year.

The project supports the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 goals and its Circular Economy Policy 2021-2031 by advancing green industrial practices and fostering local job creation. The facility will aid the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem by enhancing renewable energy storage, lowering the carbon footprint of battery production, and employing advanced carbon capture and material recovery technologies.

Automechanika Dubai 2024, the largest automotive aftermarket trade show in the Middle East, concluded with 2,228 exhibitors from over 62 countries. The event served as a key platform for industry leaders to announce innovations and partnerships driving the future of mobility.
