YDDL has signed a smelting equipment procurement contract to advance the construction of production lines for recycling electronic, copper, and nickel sludge, with commercial operations targeted for the second half of 2026.

The new production line is expected to recover metals such as copper, nickel, gold, and silver from industrial hazardous waste materials.

$One and one Green Technologies (YDDL.US)$ The company announced today that it has signed a smelting equipment procurement contract to advance the previously disclosed construction of a new production line in Metro Manila, Philippines. This production line will process industrial hazardous waste materials, including electronic sludge, copper sludge, and nickel sludge, and is scheduled to commence commercial production in the second half of 2026.

The procured smelting equipment will serve as the core hardware foundation of the new production line, enabling efficient extraction of high-value metals—including copper, nickel, gold, and silver—from relevant industrial hazardous waste materials. This contract represents a key step in advancing the project following the company’s announcement on March 18, 2026, outlining its strategic entry into Metro Manila’s e-waste resource recovery market.

The smelting production line will serve as the processing core of YDDL’s vertically integrated recycling platform in the Philippines, synergizing with the company’s hazardous waste treatment credentials, local raw material sourcing channels, and its in-house chemical testing laboratory, which is expected to become operational soon. The company believes these capabilities will support its recycling business in gradually establishing an integrated operational model covering 'sourcing—processing—testing—export.'

Once operational, the production line is expected to further enhance YDDL’s metal recovery capacity, broaden the company’s revenue streams, and strengthen its market participation in meeting global demand for copper and other strategic metals. Currently, supply of these metals remains relatively constrained, providing a favorable market backdrop for the company’s expansion into metal recycling.

Tina Yan, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of YDDL, stated: 'The signing of this smelting equipment contract marks a significant milestone in the development of our Philippine platform, signifying our transition from strategic planning toward the realization of actual processing capacity. We now hold the necessary regulatory permits, have established raw material procurement channels, and our in-house chemical testing laboratory will commence operations this quarter. This equipment acquisition will further solidify our vertically integrated recycling footprint and lay a critical foundation for the next phase of development. We believe this positions us well to capture growing global demand for sustainable metal resources such as copper, gold, and silver, while also addressing market needs for compliant industrial hazardous waste treatment.'
