On June 3, it was reported that Hong Kong's first large-scale recycling facility for decommissioned electric vehicle batteries will officially commence production in June 2026. The facility will process waste power batteries into regenerated black mass, achieving the resourceful reuse of waste materials.

The locally planned producer responsibility scheme for electric vehicle batteries is evaluated to generate an annual economic added value of approximately 66 million Hong Kong dollars and create over 100 full-time jobs in the local solid waste recycling sector. Currently, there are five licensed enterprises in Hong Kong qualified to dispose of automotive lithium batteries.
