Sustainable Growth through Recycling

Keeping The Earth Green

The Tai Kwong-Yokohama RM15million reclamation plant was set-up in Ipoh in 1997. Retired batteries are collected and sent to the plant for reclamation. At Tai Kwong-Yokohama, we believe that our investment in the recycling plant offers sustainable growth for our industry, and propel us as a responsible corporate citizen in helping to keep our Earth green.

Sustainable Growth

At the forefront of technology, the company’s battery reclamation facilities in Ipoh is a step towards sustainable growth. It has developed in-house battery recycling technologies approved by the United Nations Environmental Department. The process of recycling begins from the very start – before the battery is even produced. Once the batteries are already retired, it is then sent to our factory in Ipoh, Perak for reclamation.

Advanced technology is employed to reclaim lead material to produce the new main raw material - lead ingot. The lead ingots are then sent to our factory in Semenyih, Selangor for processing into grids and subsequently plates. The plates are then assembled into casings of the lead acid battery. Using this lead recovery technology, we are able to ensure that the highly toxic substances in batteries are neutralised making it safe to be discharged into the environment.

Our company is strict on environmental protection and care. We make sure our factories do not produce needless damaging substances to the environment. By using the lead recovery technology, we strive to protect the environment for our children.
