Legislative Council member Mr. Chow Ho-ding and Tuen Mun District Council members recently embarked on a visit to the construction site of Hong Kong's First EV Battery Processing Plant, located in EcoPark, to gain insights into the project's advancements and associated developments. Mr. Kwok Chun Sing, the Chairman of Envision Greenwise Holdings Limited ("the Group"), and Ms. Kwok Ho Yee, the Chief Operating Officer of the Group,  Managing Director of Chun Yang International (HK) Co., Ltd., received the delegation as project representatives. Mr. Chow eagerly anticipates the completion and launch of the project, expressing his satisfaction with its progress and his pride in Hong Kong.

“We're not building a recycling plant—this is an intelligent EV battery processing center," Ms. Kwok Ho Yee explained, succinctly capturing the Plant's innovative nature. She introduced two types of recycling approach: Batteries with reduced capacity but remaining functionality are repurposed for applications like energy storage systems, while batteries reach the end of their service life are processed to produce reusable materials—including "black mass" and metals like copper and aluminum—for new battery production.

"I'd describe this as a 'high-intelligence energy storage product processing hub,'" said Mr. Chow, noting that the Plant's automated production lines and AI technologies epitomize Hong Kong's new industrialization drive. He anticipates the project will bring fresh development opportunities to Tuen Mun—stimulating employment, economic growth, and industrial advancement. 

This pioneering initiative, Hong Kong's First EV Battery Processing Plant, is led by Chun Yang International (HK) Co., LTD, a subsidiary of Envision Greenwise Group. Benefiting from the Group's own construction team and related construction resources, the project has started on schedule since the groundbreaking ceremony held on 14 June last year, and is expected to be ready for trial operation by the end of this year or early next year.

Citing statistics from the Environmental Protection Department as reported by the Hong Kong Commercial Daily, as at end of December 2024, the total number of EVs in Hong Kong is about 110,000, representing about 12.2% of the total number of vehicles. With Hong Kong's Plans to cease new registration of fuel-propelled private cars by 2035, or potentially even sooner, the increasing number of electric vehicles underscores the critical need for effective management of electric vehicle battery disposal. The establishment of Hong Kong's First EV Battery Processing Plant by Chun Yang International (HK) Co., LTD. stands out as the definitive solution to this pressing issue. This Plant will serve as a landmark project in Hong Kong's environmental protection sector, propelling the city's environmental industry to a new level.
