1. GreenCycle Solutions DRC
When it comes to reliability in lead-acid battery recycling, GreenCycle Solutions DRC has been a cornerstone in the industry for over 12 years. What sets them apart? They don't just sell equipment—they partner with recyclers to design systems that work in the DRC's unique environment. Their star product? The lead acid battery breaking and separating plant, a robust system that efficiently crushes batteries, separates plastic casings, lead grids, and acid, and preps materials for further processing. But they don't stop there: their ULAB breaking and separating equipment is a game-changer for "used lead-acid batteries" (ULABs), the most common type found in motorcycles and cars across the DRC. GreenCycle knows that local recyclers often face power fluctuations, so their machines are built to be tough, with simple controls and easy maintenance. "We've had customers tell us our equipment runs smoothly even when the grid is down—because we design with the DRC in mind," says their local sales manager, Jean. Beyond machines, they offer training for operators, ensuring that every recycler feels confident using their tools. For GreenCycle, it's not just about recycling—it's about empowering communities to do it safely.
2. EcoTech Recyclers Kinshasa
EcoTech Recyclers Kinshasa doesn't just care about recycling—they care about the air we breathe. For 8 years, they've focused on making lead-acid battery recycling cleaner, starting with their air pollution control system equipment. In a country where air quality is a growing concern, their systems capture harmful fumes and particulates, ensuring that recycling plants don't become sources of pollution. But their innovation doesn't end there: their filter press equipment is a hit among recyclers looking to collect and process lead paste efficiently. "The paste is where the real value is," explains EcoTech's founder, Marie. "Our filter press equipment squeezes out excess moisture, turning messy paste into a solid cake that's easy to melt and reuse." What makes EcoTech stand out is their commitment to compliance. They work closely with local environmental agencies to ensure their machines meet DRC's strictest standards, giving recyclers peace of mind that they're operating legally and responsibly. From small workshops in Goma to large facilities in Kinshasa, EcoTech's equipment is trusted for its durability and focus on people—because a machine that protects the planet should also protect the people using it.
3. DRC Recycling Innovators
Not every recycler in the DRC has the space or budget for a massive industrial setup—and DRC Recycling Innovators gets that. For 6 years, they've specialized in custom solutions for small-scale operations, proving that you don't need a warehouse to make a difference. Their lead acid battery recycling equipment is designed to be compact yet powerful, perfect for family-owned businesses or community recycling centers. Take their hydraulic cutter equipment: it's portable, easy to operate, and can slice through battery casings with minimal effort, saving time and energy.

"We train your team, help with setup, and even check in months later to make sure everything's running smoothly." Whether you're a new recycler just starting out or a small business looking to expand, DRC Recycling Innovators prides itself on making recycling accessible. They believe that every battery recycled—no matter how small—counts, and their equipment is built to help even the smallest operations make a big impact.
4. CleanEarth Machinery
CleanEarth Machinery's name says it all: they're on a mission to make recycling as clean as possible. With 10 years in the DRC, they've become known for their air pollution control system equipment, which traps dust and fumes before they can escape into the air. "Lead dust is invisible, but it's dangerous," explains their technical lead, Amina. "Our systems use high-efficiency filters and scrubbers to make sure workers and nearby communities aren't breathing in toxins." But they don't stop at air—their filter press equipment is equally impressive, designed to separate lead paste from liquid with precision, reducing waste and maximizing recovery. CleanEarth's machines are built to last, with heavy-duty parts that can handle the grit of daily use in the DRC. They also understand that downtime costs money, so they stock spare parts locally, ensuring quick repairs when needed. For recyclers who want to do right by the planet and their team, CleanEarth Machinery is more than a supplier—they're a partner in creating safer, healthier workplaces.
5. PowerRecycle DRC
When it comes to large-scale recycling, PowerRecycle DRC is the name that industrial operators trust. With 15 years of experience, they've seen it all—and their lead acid battery breaking and separating plant is a testament to that expertise. Designed for high-volume operations, this plant can process hundreds of batteries per hour, separating plastic, lead, and acid with speed and accuracy. Their ULAB processing lines are equally impressive, tailored to handle the sheer number of used motorcycle batteries that flood the market in cities like Lubumbashi and Kisangani. "We work with mines, logistics companies, and government facilities—operations that need to process tons of batteries, not just a few," says PowerRecycle's CEO, David. "Our equipment is built for non-stop use, with features like automatic lubrication and reinforced cutting blades to keep up with demand." What really sets them apart, though, is their ability to scale. Whether you need a small upgrade or a full turnkey plant, PowerRecycle DRC can design a system that grows with your business. For industrial recyclers looking to make a big impact, they're the go-to choice—because when it comes to power, precision, and reliability, PowerRecycle delivers.
6. EcoLead Solutions
EcoLead Solutions specializes in the "heart" of lead-acid battery recycling: recovering and purifying lead paste. For 7 years, they've focused on perfecting their filter press equipment, which separates the thick, paste-like material from batteries and prepares it for melting. "Lead paste is where most of the lead is, so getting it right is key to maximizing recovery," explains their founder, Joseph. "Our filter presses use hydraulic pressure to squeeze out every last ｄｒｏｐ of liquid, leaving a dry cake that's easy to melt into new lead products." They also offer lead refinery furnaces, which refine raw lead into pure, usable metal—perfect for recyclers who want to take their operation from "scrap collector" to "material supplier." EcoLead prides itself on innovation, constantly updating their equipment to be more efficient and user-friendly. They also offer training on lead refining techniques, helping recyclers add value to their output. For those looking to turn scrap batteries into high-quality lead, EcoLead Solutions is the partner that turns potential into profit—all while keeping the process safe and sustainable.
7. DRC Green Machines
Not every recycler has a huge warehouse, and DRC Green Machines gets that. For 5 years, they've been designing space-saving, mobile equipment that fits into tight spaces—think small workshops, garage-sized operations, or even mobile recycling units. Their hydraulic cutter equipment is a favorite: compact, lightweight, and powered by a reliable motor, it can be moved around with ease, making it perfect for recyclers who need flexibility. They also offer compact granulators with dry separators, which crush and sort materials in one small footprint. "We started DRC Green Machines because we saw too many small recyclers struggle with big, bulky equipment that didn't fit their space," says their owner, Sophie. "Our machines are designed to work in the real world—where space is limited, but ambition isn't." Despite their small size, these machines don't skimp on power: the granulator, for example, can process up to 100 batteries per day, making it ideal for small to medium operations. For recyclers who want to make the most of their space, DRC Green Machines proves that good things really do come in small packages.
