Evacycle Co., Ltd. is a deep tech company specializing in waste battery recycling, which started as an in-house startup of Hyundai Motor Group in July 2023 and then spun off. It operates in the environmental/energy and battery sectors through technology that recovers valuable metals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt from waste batteries.

"Evacycle aims to create eco-friendly value through waste resource recycling, establish a sustainable resource circulation system, and contribute to solving global environmental problems. Through waste battery recycling, it shapes a sustainable future and provides environmental, economic, and technological benefits for future generations of the Earth and society. In particular, it possesses innovative process technology that reduces equipment costs, power consumption, and production time by more than 50% compared to existing methods in the process of recovering valuable metals from waste batteries."

Business Areas

• Waste Battery Recycling: We operate a business that recovers valuable metals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt through electric vehicle waste battery recycling. A key feature is the direct recycling of EV waste battery packs, not just existing process scrap.
• Development and Operation of Equipment for Efficient Waste Battery Pre-treatment Process: We are developing a business that maximizes the efficiency of equipment for extracting black powder in the pre-treatment process, which is the first step in waste battery recycling. Through high-efficiency equipment, we provide value by significantly reducing the initial investment and operating costs for recycling companies.

Products

• Lithium Carbonate: We recover lithium carbonate based on waste battery recycling and provide it as a main product/service.
• High-Efficiency Waste Battery Pre-treatment System: This is an integrated facility that safely and quickly crushes, dries, and sorts waste battery packs and cells to produce high-purity black powder. By combining an automatic transfer device and a wet dust collection system, it maximizes process safety and power efficiency.

Special Notes

• Innovative Process Technology: It possesses overwhelming process innovation, achieving early spin-off within just 9 months of establishment, and has successfully reduced equipment costs, power consumption, and production time by more than 50% compared to existing methods in the process of recovering valuable metals from waste batteries.
• Expert Personnel and Public-Private Cooperation System: Led by CEO Ryu Ji-hoon, the expert personnel, based on their technological superiority covering the entire process from battery pre-treatment to material extraction, have established a public-private cooperation system with major companies such as Kia, Hyundai Glovis, and EcoPro, leading the EV battery circulation ecosystem.
• Recognition from Government and Investment Institutions: Selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' 'Deep Tech TIPS' in 2024, proving its future growth potential, and secured initial investment from DSC Investment and Schmidt.

Recruitment Information

• Main Hiring Positions: We primarily recruit for positions in production management, facility management and maintenance (electrical, mechanical), and purchasing/sales.
