Waste Management & Recycling

Focus on recycling waste batteries to achieve resource recovery and energy generation.

Battery Circular Economy

Leading the Truly Eco-Friendly Battery Recycling Market

With the growth of the battery market, the scale of discarded batteries is expanding, raw material prices are increasing, and competition for securing raw materials is intensifying. We are committed to leading a truly eco-friendly electric vehicle market.

Increasing Discarded Battery Volume

The electric vehicle battery market is projected to grow tenfold from 2020 to 2030.

Battery replacement is necessary when the capacity falls below 80% of the initial capacity.

Soaring Raw Material Prices

The cost of raw materials for secondary batteries is rising (lithium 410%, cobalt 120%, nickel 47%).

The need for securing stable raw materials is increasing due to global supply issues.

Recycling discarded EV batteries

The disposal of hazardous materials like lithium oxide in discarded batteries is essential.

Recycling discard batteries reduces carbon emissions.

Our Story

We are advancing our battery recycling business, a key driver of our future growth, by completing recycling facilities in strategic locations such as Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Yancheng, China. These facilities are gearing up for full-scale operations. In collaboration with the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM), we have developed a hydrometallurgy process that achieves industry-leading metal recovery rates and purity.

This technology is currently undergoing commercial testing in Gwangyang, Jeollanamdo. With our global infrastructure and innovative technology, we are poised to expand the battery recycling circular economy in the US.
