How a Hong Kong startup is going about recycling lithium batteries
A Hong Kong lithium battery recycling start-up is eyeing opportunities at home and in Southeast Asia amid overcapacity and intense competition for recyclable materials in mainland China. Hong Kong Science and Technology Park-based Achelous Pure Metals currently has a capacity to process 150 tonnes of used non-electric vehicle (EV) batteries a year. It has set up its operations in an industrial building in Tuen Mun in the New Territories, which is pending approval from the Environmental Protection Department. The company crushes the batteries into a so-called black mass – a powdery mixture of valuable metals like lithium, cobalt, copper, manganese and nickel – which is then refined into lithium carbonate, cobalt and nickel compounds. 'Our goal is to tackle the growing problem of discarded lithium-ion batteries by bringing scalable, movable, eco-friendly recycling to urban centres starting in Hong Kong, with plans to expand to [Southeast] Asia,' said Alan Wong Yuk-chun, the co-founder and technical director. He said that as the city lacked recycling facilities, small-scale recycling of non-EV batteries could be done in Hong Kong and showcased for overseas business development. Most spent EV batteries were collected and exported, he added. Between two and three tonnes of lithium batteries a day were collected from discarded electrical appliances and power banks in Hong Kong, he said. Achelous has built a pilot version of a robot-assisted system to sort, shred and sift materials derived from the batteries. The system, which is pending a patent, uses a combination of vacuum and heat treatment to evaporate and capture harmful materials and gases like epoxy adhesives and fluorine. The five-year-old start-up has built another pilot project that combines nanoparticles suspended in water or organic solvents that separates molecules based on their charge, to extract and refine valuable metals from the black mass. While Achelous has already deployed its technology at a client's recycling plant in east China's Jiangsu province, which is capable of processing 10,000 tonnes a year, it faces challenges in growing its business due to rampant growth in recycling capacity on the mainland in recent years. 'Our client's factory has to compete for black mass at higher and higher prices, while the prices of end-products like lithium carbonate keep falling amid oversupply,' said Shawn Cheng, Achelous' co-founder and research and development director. The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate, sometimes referred to as 'white gold', plunged nearly 90% to 60,600 yuan (US$7,725) a tonne in May, from 568,000 yuan in November 2022, according to Daiwa Capital Markets. Amid recycling overcapacity in China and US-China trade tensions that threaten to slow demand for lithium batteries, lithium oversupply may peak globally in 2027 before seeing a deficit in the early 2030s, according to a forecast by UK-based commodities consultancy Wood Mackenzie last month. Instead of swimming against the tide, Achelous changed its strategy, setting up a production line in Hong Kong while also seeking to help companies in Southeast Asia build 'micro-factories' to break down lithium batteries and produce black mass to export to its clients in China. The company is in talks with prospective partners to recycle spent lithium batteries from handheld transceivers used by the security industry in Hong Kong, and from discarded electronics in Malaysia and Singapore. 'We want to help [our] partners meet their future recycled content obligations and set up a system to keep track of the materials' footprint for compliance,' Cheng said. Globally, demand for recycled battery materials has been mostly driven by regulations implemented in 2023 by the European Union. The battery and recycling industry is working towards a 50% target for lithium recovery by 2027, rising to 80% by 2031. For cobalt, copper, lead and nickel, the target is 90% by 2027 and 95% by 2031. – South China Morning Post

Long live King Charles: The tale of a shaggy peacekeeper who rules without barking (VIDEO)
BEIJING, June 6 — Once upon a scroll, in the digital dog park we call the internet, a quiet legend emerged — not with a growl, but with a gentle paw. He was no flashy show dog, no Frisbee-chasing goofball, and certainly no TikTok dancer. He had no interest in viral tricks or tail-wag theatrics. And yet, this shaggy fellow — medium-sized, off-white, and majestic in his own unbrushed way — became the canine king of calm. Meet Changmao. Or, as the internet has knighted him, King Charles. Now, King Charles doesn't need to bark to get his message across. He doesn't lunge, nip, or flash teeth. When a fight breaks out at his kennel — sorry, kingdom — he strolls over like a seasoned diplomat, places a paw (maybe two) on the guilty party, and voilà: instant peace. Barkers go silent. Fighters roll belly-up. Even the muscle-bound Cane Corsos lower their heads in royal reverence. No throne, no crown. Just one very powerful aura. The footage comes from a Douyin account called Uncle Beard Dog Tribe, where a dog-loving Chinese man shares videos of his canine crew. Among all the good boys and girls, Charles stands out — not because he dominates, but because he doesn't need to. His presence alone dissolves chaos. When a video of him calmly defusing a scuffle surfaced in mid-May, dog lovers around the world lost it. Instagram fell first, courtesy of @newlu_princess, who dubbed him King Charles. From there, it was a worldwide coronation. On Twitter (okay, X), someone joked, 'Cane Corso: bows my liege,' and the internet collectively nodded. Another demanded to know: 'What buddy do to have insane aura like that?' The truth? No one knows. Some say it's confidence. Others say he was born with it. But dog lovers everywhere agree: King Charles doesn't just break up fights — he restores the natural order. Like Gandalf in a fur coat. So if you ever find yourself spiralling into internet drama or in need of a little zen, remember: somewhere in China, a shaggy dog is quietly pressing a paw on chaos. Long may he reign.
