Gotion Recycling

Gotion Recycling is the battery recycling business of Gotion High-Tech Co., Ltd., a Chinese new-energy battery and green energy solutions company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Hefei, Anhui. Gotion High-Tech describes itself as a technology-driven, highly internationalised, full-industry-chain battery enterprise, and its recycling arm forms the downstream end of that chain. The company states that it has built a power battery recycling and utilisation system characterised as “high-efficiency, green, circular and low-carbon,” intended to reduce pressure on raw material extraction and save energy consumption. Gotion High-Tech’s overall business covers lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials and cells, power battery packs, battery management systems, and a full range of energy storage battery packs. Its products reach passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, large-scale energy storage, commercial and industrial storage, home storage, mobile storage, low-altitude equipment, marine power, embodied intelligence, small power applications and battery-swap systems. Recycling is presented as one of the company’s four core solution areas alongside automotive power, energy storage and customer service. The parent company operates eight global R&D centres and more than twenty manufacturing bases, with business across four major regions: China, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and Europe-Africa. Volkswagen Group is a strategic investor. Gotion High-Tech has committed to peaking carbon emissions by 2027 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2035, goals that give the recycling business a central role in closing the battery lifecycle loop.

Gotion Recycling is not a separately founded company but the battery recycling business of Gotion High-Tech Co., Ltd., which was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Hefei, Anhui. The parent company began with a first lithium iron phosphate material production line and grew into a full-industry-chain battery enterprise. Its development timeline includes the establishment of an engineering research institute, designation as a National Enterprise Technology Centre, the founding of a Silicon Valley research institute, and a successful listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in May 2015 under the stock code SZ:002074. Over the following decade Gotion High-Tech expanded from materials and cells into power batteries, energy storage and global manufacturing. Volkswagen Group became a strategic investor, and the company built more than twenty manufacturing bases and eight R&D centres worldwide. It also pursued vertical integration across the lithium battery chain — from mineral development and material production to battery manufacturing, product application and, finally, battery recycling. This full-chain strategy is the context in which Gotion Recycling operates. On its official website, Gotion High-Tech presents recycling as one of its core solution areas, describing a “high-efficiency, green, circular and low-carbon” power battery recycling and utilisation system that reduces pressure on raw material extraction and saves energy. The company’s stated sustainability targets — carbon peaking by 2027 and carbon neutrality by 2035 — reinforce the strategic importance of recycling within its green energy mission, “Make Green Energy Accessible and Sustainable.”

  Warning over undisclosed US subsidy agreement; substandard batteries linked to Kunming fire prompt recall

  In 2022, Gotion High-tech was given a regulatory talk by the Anhui Securities Regulatory Bureau over issues including bad debt provisions, related-party transactions, and disclosure of government subsidies; in December 2023, it received a warning letter for failing to timely disclose a REV subsidy agreement with the US state of Illinois, and Chairman Li Zhen and board secretary Pan Wang were given regulatory talks. The investigation into the April 12, 2025 Kunming fire found that the "JTM Golden Lithium Battery" installed on the involved electric bicycle was substandard, and Qingdao Gotion recalled 672 batteries. Warning letter, regulatory talks, recall.
