Beeah Recycling has signed an agreement with the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the American University of Sharjah with a view to setting up the country’s first recycling plant for end-of-life batteries from electric vehicles (EVs).

The facility will be added to Beeah Recycling’s integrated waste management complex, which currently has 10 specialised waste processing and material recovery facilities that have contributed to a 76 percent waste diversion rate in Sharjah, the highest in the Middle East, the company said in a statement.
