1. Namibia LeadTech Industries
When it comes to trust in Namibia's lead recycling scene, Namibia LeadTech Industries is a name that comes up time and again. Founded in 1998, this Windhoek-based supplier has grown from a small parts distributor to a full-service provider of lead processing solutions. Their flagship product line includes state-of-the-art lead acid battery recycling equipment, designed to break down batteries safely and extract lead plates, plastic, and acid with minimal waste. But what really sets them apart is their lead refinery machine equipment—machinery that transforms raw lead scrap into 99.97% pure lead ingots, meeting international quality standards for reuse in new batteries and electronics.
"We've never seen a problem they can't solve," says Pieter van der Merwe, owner of a auto repair shop in Okahandja that upgraded to LeadTech's equipment last year. "When we first started recycling batteries, we struggled with slow processing times. Their team not only installed the machine but stayed for a week to train my staff, and even checked in monthly for the first six months. You don't get that kind of care from big international brands."
With a warehouse in Windhoek stocked with spare parts and a team of 15 local technicians, LeadTech guarantees same-day response for breakdowns—a critical advantage in an industry where downtime eats into profits.
2. EcoCycle Solutions Namibia
For businesses prioritizing sustainability, EcoCycle Solutions Namibia is the gold standard. This ISO 14001-certified company doesn't just sell equipment; they design "closed-loop" recycling systems that leave zero waste behind.

Paired with their lead refinery machine equipment, which uses a low-emission melting process, EcoCycle's systems are popular with government contracts and eco-conscious enterprises.
"We worked with EcoCycle to set up a lead recycling plant in Katima Mulilo, and their attention to detail was impressive," notes Sarah Ndhlovu, environmental officer at a regional waste management authority. "They didn't just ｄｒｏｐ off the machinery—they conducted a full site assessment, adjusted the layout to reduce energy use, and even helped us apply for green business grants. Now, our plant recycles 500+ batteries monthly without a single complaint from nearby communities."
EcoCycle also offers training programs for operators, ensuring that clients don't just have the tools, but the knowledge to use them safely. Their commitment to sustainability extends to their own operations, too—they offset 100% of their carbon emissions through reforestation projects in the Kavango region.
3. Namibian Metal Processors Ltd.
Not all recycling operations are the same, and Namibian Metal Processors (NMP) gets that. This supplier specializes in customizable lead processing systems, from compact units for small scrap yards to industrial-scale lines for mining companies. Their hydraulic press machines equipment is a client favorite—powerful yet energy-efficient, it compresses lead scrap into dense briquettes that melt faster and reduce fuel costs by up to 20%.

"We started with a small NMP press five years ago, processing 100kg of lead scrap daily," says Jacobus Pretorius, owner of a scrap metal yard in Grootfontein. "As we grew, they helped us upgrade to a full separation system without replacing our original press—they just added modules. Now we process 1 ton daily and sell the plastic to a local manufacturer. It's like they built the equipment to grow with us."
NMP's team includes mechanical engineers who work closely with clients to design layouts that fit their space and budget. They also offer flexible payment plans, making it easier for startups to enter the recycling market.
4. GreenRecycle Namibia
Energy costs can make or break a recycling business, which is why GreenRecycle Namibia has focused on developing machinery that does more with less. Their lead refinery furnace uses a medium-frequency induction design that heats lead 40% faster than traditional furnaces, cutting electricity use by a third. Pair that with their air pollution control system equipment—a compact, low-power scrubber that requires minimal maintenance—and clients see significant savings on utility bills.
"Our plant in Rundu used to spend N$20,000 monthly on electricity for lead melting," says Maria Kamati, operations manager at a battery recycling facility. "After switching to GreenRecycle's furnace, that bill dropped to N$12,000. The air system is so quiet, we can barely hear it running, and cleaning it takes 10 minutes instead of 2 hours. It's changed how we do business."
GreenRecycle also prides itself on simplicity. Their equipment is designed with fewer moving parts, reducing the risk of breakdowns, and their user-friendly controls mean new operators can be trained in just a day. For rural operations with limited technical staff, this is a game-changer.
5. Windhoek Recycling Technologies
