Equipped to process up to 10,000 tonnes of material annually, with plans to double this capacity by expanding onto an adjacent plot, the facility utilizes an industry-leading inert crushing and vacuum drying process to safely recycle lithium and EV batteries, as well as battery production scrap.
SK tes extracts black mass, an intermediate-processed product containing rare metals including lithium, cobalt, and nickel that is fed back into the battery supply chain.
SK tes also plans to expand battery recycling capabilities at key bases in Europe. In addition to Rotterdam, SK tes is working to develop battery recycling capacity in Southern and Eastern Europe. In Asia, SK tes recently completed an EV battery recycling plant in Yancheng, China, and plans to complete EV waste battery recycling operation in Newcastle, Australia later this year.
