EV battery recycling heats up in Korea despite market slump
Industry eyes rebound by 2030 as used batteries pile up, global recycling mandates kick in Korea's industry giants are stepping up their involvement in the electric vehicle battery recycling sector, signaling expectations that the currently subdued industry will evolve into a critical component of the battery value chain. LG Energy Solution, Korea's largest battery maker, recently formed joint ventures in Europe and the US — with France's Derichebourg and Toyota Tsusho Co., respectively — marking its first direct steps into battery recycling operations in both regions. SK Ecoplant, a construction engineering unit of SK Group, is expanding its European facility in the Netherlands to add 25,000 metric tons of annual black mass processing capacity, with completion scheduled for 2025. Posco-GS Eco Materials, a 51:49 joint venture between Posco Holdings and GS Energy, acquired full control of its battery recycler, Posco HY Clean Metal, by purchasing the 35 percent stake held by China's Huayou Cobalt in April. 'It is late compared to other countries' battery industries, as even Chinese companies such as CATL have their own recycling business,' said Park Cheol-wan, a car engineering professor at Seojeong University. 'Yet it is the right path for Korean companies, as securing a stable supply chain for minerals will become increasingly significant.' These moves come as the battery recycling sector continues to suffer a deep slump, driven by sluggish EV demand and sharp declines in the prices of key battery minerals such as nickel, lithium and manganese. International lithium carbonate prices, which were above 450 Chinese yuan ($63) per kilogram in January 2023, have fallen to around 50 yuan. Nickel prices also dropped significantly, from over $31,000 per ton to around $20,000. As a result, SungEel HiTech, one of only two battery recycling companies listed on Korea's tech-focused Kosdaq, has experienced declines in profitability and free cash flow for two consecutive years. A joint battery recycling project between SungEel HiTech and SK Innovation, announced in 2022, has been indefinitely delayed, while SK Ecoplant's planned facilities in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, and Kentucky have also shown no signs of progress for years. The industry, however, anticipates a significant increase in the number of used EV batteries as they reach the end of their life cycle, which is estimated to be around 10 years. This follows the surge in global EV sales in the 2010s, which surpassed one million units in 2015. With the continued growth of EV adoption, the battery recycling market — valued at $8 billion in 2022 — is projected to expand to as much as $53.57 billion by 2030, according to SNE Research. Experts say that entering the battery recycling business is increasingly becoming essential for staying competitive in the battery industry, as global policy trends push for recycled minerals to be a core component of battery supply chains. The European Union requires all EV batteries placed within the region to meet minimum recycled metal content thresholds by 2031: 16 percent for cobalt, 85 percent for lead, 6 percent for lithium and 6 percent for nickel. These requirements will increase by 2036. Meanwhile, EVs with some key battery components or minerals sourced from foreign entities of concern are excluded from US tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, pressuring battery makers to secure materials domestically, often through recycling. 'It is more a matter of broader business strategy than the profitability of recycling itself, whether companies choose to outsource recycled materials or secure them in-house,' Park added. '(With policy changes in place,) it may become faster to secure used batteries rather than invest in new mines, exploration, refining and metal procurement. To ensure a stable supply of critical minerals, battery makers will be competing as if at war.'

Meyle to expand supply of EV parts in Korea
Meyle, a German premium automotive parts maker, is ramping up efforts to expand its supply of electric vehicle parts to prepare for a surge in EV repairs in Korea. According to Meyle on Friday, the company announced a plan to expand its product portfolio to produce more than 4,000 components for electric and hybrid vehicles to meet growing global demand. Meyle's Korean office said it is focusing on strengthening industry-academic partnerships to train future technicians, and enhancing the capabilities of its certified Meyle auto service centers across Korea to better support EV and hybrid owners of imported vehicles. Innofact, in partnership with Meyle, surveyed 274 independent workshops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where EV adoption is growing quickly. Results showed that more than 80 million EVs will be on the road in Europe by 2035. Of them, 21 million EVs will be over 8 years old, many of them out of warranty and in need of independent service options. Despite such growth, the study indicated that most workshops are not yet equipped to handle EV repairs. Currently, only 1 in 5 workshops is fully capable of servicing high-voltage systems. Meyle pointed out that Korea is following a similar path. The country is expected to see the number of registered EVs surpass 1 million this year, with the government aiming to have 4.2 million EVs on the road by 2030. The German auto parts supplier noted that as warranties expire, more owners of EVs will have to turn to independent service centers while the infrastructure and technical expertise for EV repair remain limited. "This study shows that in the era of e-mobility, workshops will need more than just parts and they will need complete solutions," said a Meyle official. "Meyle will continue to offer specialized EV and hybrid parts for Korean customers and strengthen support for EV repair through Meyle auto service centers."
