Battery Recycling

We are advancing our EV battery recycling business, a key driver of our future growth, by completing the construction of recycling facilities in strategic global locations including Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Yancheng, China, 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 in commercial test in Gwangyang, Jeollanamdo.
With our global infrastructure and innovative technology, we are poised to lead the circular economy in battery recycling.

SK tes

SK tes is a global E-Waste company headquartered in Singapore whose main business areas include the recycling of electrical and electronic waste, ITAD (IT asset disposal) services, and the recycling of waste batteries. Currently, it operates 46 treatment facilities in 23 countries, including 5 core countries, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Singapore, and has the largest number of regional offices in the industry.

Incineration

Incineration is the most direct method of reducing the volume of waste and neutralizing its hazards. SK ecoplant mitigates the hazard posed by waste materials by incinerating and converting them to energy for the public and the environment. By recovering the heat generated by incineration, we are able to provide heating, cooling, and electricity, while our meticulous pollutant emissions control has earned the trust of local communities. Furthermore, we are gearing up to secure the capability required to lead the market as an environmentally-friendly corporation equipped with its own environmentally-friendly, AI-based incinerator solution, and to set an inspiring example with our incinerator operating system to which the global markets pay close attention.

Limit value of incineration: 1,106 tons per day
11 incineration sites

Landfill

Landfill is a sophisticated engineering structure that contributes to environmental safety and sustainability. With professional and efficient Operation and Maintenance (O&M) techniques, SK ecoplant has prevented wastes and pollutants from dispersion and secured stability. It is concerned to block the potential negative impact from the perspective of long-term maintenance, and to conserve the local environment for future generations. We will lead the environmentally-friendly recycling of resources by applying the appropriate treatments to landfilled waste and operating the Waste Management System.
