Recent Collaborations…

We have been busy recent months forming strategic partnerships within and outside of our industry. These partnerships manifests in different forms, ranging from technical knowledge sharing, collaborating to visit customers jointly – all these come in valuable to SWM, helping us to grow, innovate and even possibly pivoting in a whole new direction in the broad world of lithium-ion battery recycling and repurposing.

SWM continues to aim to contribute to the industry and participates actively within the community to bring about recycling awareness through meaningful and strategic collaboration with our strategic partners.

Participation in DHL’s Asia Chapter – July 24 & 25, 2024:

One of our most recent being with DHL, partnering with them as their downstream service provider, serving the electric vehicle (EV) segment. Rapid electrification is one of the on-going trends in the market. The government’s focus on establishing a stronger network of EV charging stations and the EV ecosystem to drive the adoption of emission-free mobility is anticipated to influence the global EV battery market growth. During DHL’s Asia Chapter on July 24 & 25, 2024, we have had the opportunity to share our business model and recycling approach to the participating clientele, offering an alternative to mining metal salts for new battery manufacturing.

Hosting the MFA’s Singapore Cooperation Program (SCP) foreign delegates – July 18, 2024:

SWM have had the honor of hosting a group of foreign delegates jointly with the Singapore Environment Institute (SEI). SEI serves as the training and knowledge division of the National Environment Agency (NEA) and one of the key mandates of SEI is to organize capacity building workshops customized to specific needs. This round, the focus has been “Integrated Waste Management Strategies and Circular Economy for Sustainable Development”.

The group of 30 foreign government officials spent an afternoon at our premises to understand SWM’s effort and role in sustainability and our sustainable pathways, innovation and technology to resource repurposing and recycling. The lively exchange during the visit has been highly beneficial to SWM as we aim to serve the broader public beyond Singapore.  

CESG2024 Participation – June 19 to 21, 2024:

SWM’s round two involvement at a national level – again, we are proud to be standing alongside our National Environment Agency (NEA) team, this biennial summit welcomed thought leaders, industry captains and policy makers from the globe to connect and collaborate on possible solutions enabling a sustainable and clean environment. SWM participated in one of the three pillars – Resource Circularity, as this pillar stands as our business core – exhibiting as a platinum sponsor for the event, helming a booth, as well as taking up speaking roles during the summit, sharing our thoughts and technological quest to bring about a refreshed approach to lithium-ion recycling and repurposing.

We saw many groups of interested parties coming over to our booth, learning and understanding our process and ultimate business purpose of providing recycled battery grade metal salts as an alternative to mining to battery manufacturers. We had the honor of having many VIPs gracing our booth, including Dr. Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment and Transport.
