Battery recycling background

Battery Recycling

Creating sustainable value from waste batteries, the core of future energy.

The Cycle of Sustainable Energy

The explosive growth of the EV market has created the problem of used battery disposal, but it is also a new opportunity. Core World rebirths waste batteries into 'black mass' and extracts key minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel to complete the sustainable circular economy of the battery industry.

Recycling Process

1

Receiving & Discharging

Safely receive used batteries (UBC) and stabilize them by completely discharging residual energy.

2

Module/Pack Disassembly

Separate battery packs and modules into cell units through an automated process, and dismantle parts like BMS and cases.

3

Crushing & Black Mass Production

Produce 'black mass', a black powder containing lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, by crushing the disassembled cells.

4

Key Mineral Extraction

Selectively extract high-purity key minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel from the black mass through hydrometallurgical technology.

Key Recovered Resources

We recover essential key minerals for battery manufacturing from waste batteries.

Lithium

Nickel

Cobalt

Manganese
