On the afternoon of June 5th, the signing ceremony of the strategic cooperation framework agreement between Suzhou Botree Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Botree Recycling") and KILNPARTNER was held at Suzhou Botree Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. The main executives and employees of Botree Recycling and KILNPARTNER jointly attended the signing ceremony.

        Lin Xiao, Chairman of Botree Recycling, expressed his gratitude to all the guests present at the company. Liu Chunwei, Minister of Strategy, stated that as a leading enterprise in the upstream material and equipment end of the new energy battery industry chain, KILNPARTNER is a solution provider for a full range of sintering equipment in China and one of the few versatile lithium battery sintering experts in the industry. Based on accumulated research and development strength, In recent years, we have successfully developed, designed, developed, and produced a series of large-scale thermal equipment systems for more than ten leading listed companies in the industry, making significant contributions to the industry. On January 18 this year, the State Council Information Office held a press conference, at which the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized that we should carry out the power Battery recycling , optimize the upgrading project, improve the recycling system, promote the implementation of the pilot project of extending the producer responsibility of automobile products, and improve the utilization capacity of complex and difficult to use solid wastes and emerging solid wastes. This indicates that the recycling of retired batteries is unstoppable and has good prospects. The strategic cooperation agreement between the two sides is to realize the industrialization and large-scale application of new key heat treatment equipment in the field of lithium Battery recycling, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the new energy solid waste recycling industry.

        According to Zhang Yuejin, Chairman of KILNPARTNER, Botree Recycling is a global battery energy asset upgrade technology driven system solution service provider under the dual carbon background. It has provided industry consulting, technical services, distributed intelligent automation equipment, and the development, supply, and operation of large-scale engineering projects for nearly ten of the Fortune 500 energy companies and leading domestic companies in the battery and energy fields. Botree has built a full system green environmental protection cycle production line for recycling, pretreatment, decomposition, purification and production of battery grade materials of retired lithium Battery recycling in many places. Industrial collaboration is the foundation of our cooperation. Both parties fully leverage their respective advantages in the industrial market, industrial technology, wide range of corresponding processes, mature manufacturing and quality management models, and work together to promote the marketization of "new energy solid waste recycling" technology and equipment, as well as create an industrial ecosystem, focusing on technology collaboration, project research, expert team cooperation, and equipment promotion.

At the ceremony, the leaders of Botree Recycling and KILNPARTNER jointly signed the Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement.

        Botree Recycling is committed to providing a comprehensive solution for the recycling and utilization of battery metals and rare and precious metal resource materials. By developing new separation systems and intelligent equipment manufacturing, Botree Recycling empower domestic and foreign recycling enterprises, vehicle companies, energy storage, battery manufacturers, battery operators, and other recycling responsible entities to achieve short-term closed-loop of battery materials and promote low-carbon and sustainable development of key resources for new energy.

        The team brought together the top international experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Leuven in Belgium, Waseda University in Japan and other industry advantageous units. On the basis of long-term research and development in battery materials, key metal separation and purification, extractant synthesis, Carbon footprint and other fields, the team realized the industrialization and scale of the whole process equipment from disassembly, extraction to material regeneration, and developed Hydrogen fuel cells、recovery process of Solid-state battery and the short process separation process of mineral resources such as laterite nickel mine， have established a Carbon footprint accounting system for the full life cycle of lithium batteries that meets international standards.

        Botree Recycling provides partners with supply chain guarantee services such as due diligence traceability, Carbon footprint accounting, low-carbon system construction, IREC renewable power trading, etc., deepens the recycling of key resources with technology, supports the large-scale application of the next generation of green batteries with data, and helps the new energy industry to achieve a clean and low-carbon life cycle.
