【Domestic Dynamics: Sunwoda 50,000-Ton Battery Recycling Phase I Begins Production】

【Domestic Dynamics: Sunwoda 50,000-Ton Battery Recycling Phase I Begins Production】 Tengzhou Sunwoda's Phase I lithium-ion battery recycling project has commenced full production in 2026. Spanning 200 acres, the facility fills a critical downstream gap in the regional new energy supply chain. Operating on a closed-loop model, its 1.1-km automated line can process 50,000 tons of waste batteries annually—equivalent to recycling 60,000 EVs. The highly automated line integrates dismantling, pyrolysis, crushing, and restoration, achieving a 98.5% core element recovery rate to produce high-value black mass. By converting waste into lithium, nickel, and cobalt, the project resolves local material shortages and enhances regional supply chain security.
