Who we collect from in Hefei
Manufacturing clusters generate production scrap and off-spec cells during line ramp-up, warranty returns from early vehicles, and validation packs from test tracks. The material is usually single-chemistry and well documented, which makes it some of the cleanest feed in the network.
- Cell and pack assembly plants
- Tier-one module suppliers
- Vehicle assembly lines
- Validation and test centres
How a Hefei collection runs
We run scheduled scrap collections from plant gates and tier-one suppliers, with dedicated bins per chemistry and a weighbridge reconciliation against each supplier's scrap log. Off-spec cells that never entered a vehicle are graded separately because their value profile is different from end-of-life packs.

Grading via Ningde, Fujian
Every module is tested for capacity, DC resistance and impedance so value is set on measurement, not on age.

Certificate issued
A recovery certificate with achieved percentages per metal and downstream vendor disclosure, for reporting under MIIT management measures for new energy vehicle power battery recycling.
The rules in China
MIIT management measures for new energy vehicle power battery recycling
Regulator: Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)
China makes carmakers responsible for recovering the power batteries in the vehicles they sell, and each pack is tracked on a national traceability platform from production to recycling. MIIT publishes a list of recyclers that meet its industry standard conditions, and batteries are expected to flow to these firms for cascade use or material recovery.
- Register pack codes on the national traceability management platform
- Route retired packs through the automaker's collection network or a listed compliant recycler
- Follow national standards for dismantling, cascade use and material recovery
- Keep records that link each pack's code to its final treatment
