Nippon Recycle Center

In Japan, NIPPON RECYCLE CENTER developed its process in the 70 s, although its dedicated plant specifically designed to treat nickel-cadmium batteries only came into operation in Korea in 1984. 

NIPPON RECYCLE CENTER, first in Japan and then in Korea (HANIL joint venture), initially based its activities on treating waste from the manufacture of batteries in Japan. 

SAFT AB in Sweden, INMETCO in the USA, KOBAR in Korea, NIPPON RECYCLE CENTER in Japan use fiimaces that process one tonne in 16 hours. 

For the past 15 years, Nippon Recycle Center / Hanil Metal Recycle have been an important link in the recycling chain for NiCd batteries. In so doing they have contributed to enhancing the social utility of NiCd batteries.
