About RECYLEX

Recylex S.A. is a French industrial group focused on recycling and upgrading secondary raw materials, with a long-standing expertise in non-ferrous metals and technical plastics. The listed parent company trades on Euronext Paris under ISIN FR0000120388. Recylex positions itself at the core of the circular economy through activities centered on lead, zinc and polypropylene recycling, and describes itself as a European specialist in “urban mining,” meaning the recovery of valuable materials from waste streams located close to cities and industrial sites. The company’s history is closely connected to Metaleurop, and the 2007 renaming to Recylex marked a strategic shift toward industrial recycling. This transition reflected a broader effort to rebuild the group around environmentally oriented industrial activities while leveraging deep metallurgical know-how. Over time, Recylex developed a reputation for handling complex waste streams through collection, sorting, treatment and transformation processes designed to convert end-of-life materials into reusable raw materials. Recylex’s three core business lines are used lead-acid battery recycling, zinc recycling and production, and polypropylene recycling. In lead, the group collects used batteries across France and Europe, neutralizes the acid, then crushes the batteries to separate lead and plastic materials; the electrolyte is regenerated and the plastics are recycled through C2P, the group’s polypropylene specialist. The company highlights high recycling yields, proprietary crushing technology and ISO 14001-certified plants. In zinc, Recylex draws on its historical expertise to supply recycled zinc-based materials to industrial customers. In polypropylene, it transforms battery-derived plastics into secondary materials that can be reused in new applications. Geographically, Recylex has been mainly rooted in France while serving European industrial markets through its sourcing and customer base. The group emphasizes a proximity model, collecting waste and scrap close to urban and industrial areas to reduce logistics intensity and support its environmental footprint. One notable and material fact for investors is that Recylex S.A. entered judicial liquidation in November 2022 after the Paris Commercial Court converted its reorganization proceedings. That legal and financial context is essential when assessing the company’s current market profile and corporate standing.
