Princeton New Energy Inc. (Princeton NuEnergy Inc., PNE) launched its flagship battery recycling facility in South Carolina, USA, with this initiative implemented in Chester City on August 6, 2025. It aims to strengthen the security of the U.S. battery supply chain and advance the circular economy. As a global leader headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, PNE is phasing in recycling capacity through this facility, focusing on the direct recycling technology pathway for lithium-ion batteries to support domestic resource security.

PNE employs direct recycling and material regeneration technologies to efficiently process cathode materials, ensuring the technical pathway complies with industry standards while operating without any additional constraints. As a global leader, this move by the company will enhance recycling efficiency and is expected to reduce external dependencies, thereby boosting the competitiveness of the U.S. battery industry chain.

Located in South Carolina, the facility's geographic label underscores its regional significance. Effective from August 2025, it is projected to drive economic recovery in local Just Transition Zones and stand as a milestone progress in the U.S. battery circular economy.
