1. EcoRecycle Bhutan Pvt. Ltd.
EcoRecycle Bhutan has emerged as a leader in sustainable recycling solutions, with a focus on minimizing environmental impact. Their flagship product, the lead acid battery breaking and separation system , is designed to efficiently crush batteries, separate lead plates from plastic casings, and neutralize acid—all while consuming 20% less energy than conventional models. What sets them apart is their integrated air pollution control system equipment , which captures 99% of particulate matter and toxic fumes, ensuring compliance with Bhutan's strict air quality standards.
Local recyclers praise EcoRecycle for their hands-on approach: the team provides on-site training for operators, helping small businesses adopt safe practices. "We used to struggle with lead dust in our facility," says Kinley, a recycling plant owner in Thimphu. "After installing EcoRecycle's system, our workers no longer complain of respiratory issues, and we've even reduced our waste disposal costs by selling recovered plastic to manufacturers."
2. Bhutan Green Tech Industries
Bhutan Green Tech Industries specializes in equipment tailored for small to mid-sized recycling operations, making sustainable technology accessible to local entrepreneurs. Their ULAB breaking and separating equipment (ULAB stands for Used Lead-Acid Battery) is compact yet powerful, handling 500-800 kg of batteries per hour—ideal for community-level recycling centers. Complementing this is their hydraulic cutter equipment , which cleanly slices through battery casings without releasing harmful substances.
"We started with just one machine, and now we're expanding to three locations," shares Pema, who runs a recycling cooperative in Punakha. "Bhutan Green Tech's equipment is easy to maintain, and their technicians visit every quarter to check performance. It's not just about selling machines—they're invested in our success."
3. Himalayan Recycling Solutions
For recyclers looking to scale, Himalayan Recycling Solutions offers comprehensive turnkey plants that cover the entire lead-acid battery recycling process. From battery collection bins to lead acid battery recycling equipment and filter press equipment for acid neutralization, they handle every detail—including installation, staff training, and regulatory compliance. Their filter press systems are particularly noteworthy, using advanced membranes to separate and dry lead paste, reducing wastewater by up to 40%.
"We partnered with Himalayan Recycling to set up Bhutan's first large-scale battery recycling plant in Phuentsholing," explains Tashi, operations manager at Bhutan Metal Recoveries. "Their team stayed with us for three months, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Today, we process 2 tons of batteries daily, and 95% of the lead we recover is sold to local manufacturers—creating a circular economy right here in Bhutan."
4. Sustainable Energy Bhutan
True to its name, Sustainable Energy Bhutan integrates energy efficiency into every piece of equipment. Their lead refinery machine equipment uses medium-frequency induction heating, which reduces electricity consumption by 25% compared to traditional furnaces. Paired with their effluent treatment machine equipment , which treats and recycles 90% of process water, their systems are a favorite among eco-conscious businesses.
"We're not just recycling batteries—we're setting a standard for responsible manufacturing," says Sonam, CEO of Thimphu-based Green Energy Metals. "Sustainable Energy's refinery machine produces lead ingots with 99.9% purity, which fetches a premium in the market. And their effluent treatment system means we don't discharge a single ｄｒｏｐ of contaminated water—something our customers really value."
5. Druk Clean Technologies
Druk Clean Technologies has built its reputation on strict adherence to Bhutan's environmental regulations. Their air pollution control machines equipment includes high-efficiency cyclones, bag filters, and activated carbon scrubbers, ensuring that emissions from battery crushing and melting meet the country's stringent Class I air quality standards. Additionally, their dry process equipment eliminates the need for water in certain separation steps, making it ideal for regions with limited water resources.
"Bhutan's Department of Environment conducts surprise inspections, and we've never failed one," notes Deki, owner of Paro Recycling Hub. "Druk Clean's air pollution control system gives us peace of mind. Our neighbors used to complain about odors, but now they don't even notice we're here. That's the difference quality equipment makes."
6. Alpine Industrial Supplies
Alpine Industrial Supplies caters to Bhutan's growing industrial sector, offering high-capacity equipment for large-scale recycling operations. Their hydraulic briquetter equipment compresses lead scrap into dense briquettes, reducing storage and transportation costs, while their plastic pneumatic conveying system equipment efficiently moves shredded battery casings to storage or resale facilities—minimizing manual handling and dust exposure.
"We process over 5 tons of batteries weekly for Bhutan's largest automotive fleet," says Ugyen, logistics manager at Alpine's client, Bhutan Transport Corporation. "Their hydraulic briquetter turns loose lead chips into neat blocks that are easy to melt, and the pneumatic system keeps our warehouse spotless. It's transformed how we manage waste."
7. Green Mountain Machinery
Green Mountain Machinery stands out for its dual expertise in battery and e-waste recycling. In addition to their lead acid battery breaking and separation system , they offer circuit board recycling equipment , allowing businesses to diversify into electronic waste processing. Their battery system features adjustable crushing blades and magnetic separators, ensuring clean separation of lead, plastic, and acid residue.
"We started with batteries, but demand for e-waste recycling grew," explains Karma, founder of Thimphu E-Cycle. "Green Mountain's circuit board equipment integrates seamlessly with our existing battery line—now we recover gold, silver, and copper alongside lead. It's doubled our revenue and reduced the amount of waste going to landfills."
8. Bhutan Recycling Innovators
Bhutan Recycling Innovators is at the forefront of recycling technology, specializing in wet separation processes that deliver exceptional material purity. Their wet process equipment uses water-based solutions to separate lead paste from plastic and other impurities, while their water process equipment treats and recycles the separation water, closing the loop on resource use.
"Wet processing was a game-changer for us," says Lhamo, technical director at Bhutan Precious Metals Refinery. "Bhutan Recycling Innovators' system recovers lead paste with 99.5% purity, which we sell to jewelers and electronics manufacturers. The water process equipment means we only use fresh water once—after that, it's recycled. It's efficient and sustainable, which aligns perfectly with Bhutan's values."
9. Himalayan Eco-Engineering
Himalayan Eco-Engineering takes an integrated approach, offering systems that handle not just lead-acid batteries but also motors, cables, and other scrap materials. Their motor recycling machines equipment extracts copper windings from electric motors, while their auxiliary equipment (like conveyors and sorting tables) ensures a smooth workflow between battery crushing, motor dismantling, and cable stripping.
"We wanted a one-stop shop for all our recycling needs," says Wangchuk, owner of Bhutan Scrap Management. "Himalayan Eco-Engineering designed a custom layout where batteries, motors, and cables are processed in the same facility. It's saved us space, time, and money. Now we're the go-to recycler for businesses with mixed scrap."
10. Dragon Industrial Solutions
Dragon Industrial Solutions specializes in pre-processing equipment, the unsung heroes of efficient recycling. Their shredder and pre-chopper equipment and 2 shaft shredder equipment tackle the toughest battery casings, breaking them down into manageable pieces before separation. The 2-shaft design ensures consistent shredding, even for heavily reinforced plastic or corroded metal.
"Old batteries can be really stubborn—some have rusted casings or are swollen from overcharging," notes Choki, operations lead at Punakha Scrap Yard. "Dragon's 2 shaft shredder chews through them like butter. Before, we spent hours prying casings open by hand; now it's done in minutes. Our productivity has tripled."
