Sustainable Battery Recycling Services

Discarded lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles and IT assets require careful handling. As a part of the SK Tes Lithium ion Battery recycling service, you will receive a full service, including packaging, collection, and transportation of retired Li-Ion batteries from your business to our recycling facilities, ready for processing and repurposing.

Batteries are classified as hazardous waste and subject to international and in-country legislation governing their safe and responsible movement. When transporting batteries, it is important to use reliable provider like SK Tes with global presence and expertise in battery recycling and regulatory compliance.

At SK Tes, our EV battery recycling services ensure every battery is tracked with a full chain of custody and audit trail for security and transparency.

Upon arrival, batteries are registered, photographed, and safely discharged. In some cases, residual energy is stored and reused to power parts of the recycling process, reinforcing our sustainability commitment.

The batteries then go through size reduction via shredding and hammer milling, followed by separation using air and magnetic techniques. This process removes plastics and paper, isolating the valuable “black mass” powder. Through hydrometallurgical treatment, we recover key materials such as graphite, cobalt, hydroxide, and lithium carbonate - essential for manufacturing new batteries.

Rest assured that automotive and EV battery recycling services are performed responsibly and efficiently, supporting your sustainability goals and regulatory compliance.

Yes, the battery recycling process is generally considered to be environmentally sustainable. This is because batteries contain a number of toxic chemicals, such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, that can be harmful to the environment if they are not disposed of properly.

Battery recycling also helps to conserve natural resources. Many of the materials used to make batteries, such as lithium and cobalt, are finite resources that are becoming increasingly scarce. By recycling batteries, these materials can be recovered and reused, reducing the need to extract new resources from the earth.

Lithium-ion batteries are made up of several cells, each containing a positive electrode (made of lithium cobalt oxide or lithium iron phosphate), a negative electrode (made of graphite), and an electrolyte solution (made of lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent).

SK Tes integrates laptop battery recycling into ITAD services by securely handling batteries, ensuring data protection, and complying with environmental regulations. Our advanced processes recover valuable materials like lithium and cobalt, supporting sustainability and circular economy goals.

Using proven techniques such as shredding, separation, and hydrometallurgy, we maximize value for you and material recovery while minimizing waste. With global reach and EcoVadis-certified sustainability, SK Tes provides reliable and compliant battery recycling solutions tailored to your needs.
