YANTAI, China, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As electric vehicles and energy storage systems scale globally, a critical challenge has emerged: how to manage millions of batteries at the end of their life cycle.
The EU Battery Regulation and similar frameworks are imposing stricter mandates for recycled material content, carbon footprint disclosure, and end-of-life responsibility. Battery recycling has evolved from an environmental compliance duty to a strategic cornerstone of critical material security, supply chain resilience, and the energy transition.
One question remains: can compliant battery recycling be both sustainable and commercially viable?
For Jereh, the answer lies in its intelligent battery recycling demonstration facility in Zhengzhou, China. Since commissioning, the plant has processed more than 15,000 tons of raw feedstock, maintained a utilization rate above 80%, and achieved profitability within its first year of operation. Both the black mass recovery rate and purity exceed 98%, while copper and aluminum separation efficiency reaches up to 96%, underscoring the viability of industrial-scale battery recycling.
This facility served as the validation platform for Jereh's Lithium Battery Recycling Equipment 1.0. Building on real-world operating data, Jereh has developed its next-generation Lithium Battery Recycling Equipment 2.0 and introduced its LFP Cathode Material Regeneration Solution, further enhancing the value recovery of end-of-life batteries.
The upgraded 2.0 equipment increases single-line annual capacity by 50% while improving operational safety, efficiency, and environmental performance. Meanwhile, the LFP regeneration solution reduces processing costs by 40% through a dry physical process, achieves up to 95% stripping efficiency, eliminates wastewater discharge, and cuts carbon emissions by around 60%.
Beyond technology development, Jereh is expanding its global battery recycling footprint through localized partnerships across South Korea, Australia, Hungary, and the United States. Following the successful 1.0 validation in Zhengzhou, the 2.0 equipment in Guangzhou and Chongqing is expected to commence operations in the coming weeks, with plans for further deployment in overseas markets. Recently, Jereh also signed an agreement with Witthal Gulf to jointly develop a benchmark lithium battery recycling project in Abu Dhabi. The project marks another milestone in Jereh's efforts to support the development of sustainable battery recycling infrastructure worldwide.
Jereh also contributes to the development of battery recycling standards and safety frameworks, supporting a more mature and transparent recycling ecosystem. For Jereh, the goal is clear: transform retired batteries from waste into valuable resources and help close the loop across the global battery value chain.

Gym Nano to Power Athlete Warm-Ups and Interactive Experiences at ATHX Glasgow, June 20–21
SHENZHEN, China, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Speediance, a leader in smart fitness innovation, today announced a global partnership with ATHX, becoming its Official Smart Fitness Equipment Partner through December 2027. The exclusive category agreement covers 57 international events across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, marking an important step in Speediance's expansion into competitive functional fitness.
ATHX is a 2.5-hour continuous fitness competition across six zones, with one set challenge designed to test every aspect of fitness and push athletes to the next level. Central to the alliance is Speediance's all-new product, Gym Nano, a portable, precision-driven digital resistance engine that brings out peak performance anywhere.
Gym Nano will serve as the official smart fitness equipment deployed within ATHX warm-up and recovery zones throughout the partnership. Its strengths align perfectly with ATHX's high-intensity training demands:
- Pro-Grade Resistance, Full Range of Motion: Gym Nano delivers 220 lbs of precise digital resistance and a 5.1-meter rope for heavy-load, high-displacement competitive hybrid training — without the spatial confines and restricted trajectory of fixed cable machines.
- Precision Training, Assess-Train-Validate Full Cycle Tracking: Gym Nano builds a complete VBT assess-train-validate loop driven by real-time data feedback. By precisely tracking core metrics like velocity, power, and RFD, it makes every rep fully measurable and eliminates blind training.
- Anywhere & Anyone: Gym Nano enables rigorous S&C conditions in any environment, driven by a highly compact resistance engine and versatile mounting system.
Speediance will make its official on-site booth debut at the ATHX Glasgow on June 20-21, 2026, where Gym Nano will be available for athlete use in the official warm-up zone for the first time. Six Gym Nano units will be available on-site, with three located in athlete warm-up zone and three at the Speediance booth alongside the flagship product Gym Monster 2s. Athletes will have the opportunity to experience Speediance's ecosystem of intelligent strength training and real-time performance tracking firsthand.
"ATHX provides the ideal environment to demonstrate how Gym Nano supports high-performance training," said Tao Liu, Founder and CEO of Speediance. "This partnership allows us to showcase our technology in demanding performance environments while connecting directly with athletes who continually push the boundaries of what is possible."
The partnership reflects Speediance's broader commitment to expanding beyond traditional home fitness and into performance-driven training environments. By connecting intelligent resistance technology with competitive fitness communities, Speediance continues to advance its vision of a connected ecosystem that supports training, performance and long-term wellbeing.
