Envision Greenwise Holdings

What Envision Greenwise Holdings does

Envision Greenwise Holdings (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: 01783.HK) is an environmental services company operating two segments: Power Battery Recycling and Green Energy (EV charging infrastructure and energy storage systems). Founded in 1985 and listed since 2018, the company runs a global service network of 70+ locations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, with named facilities in Hong Kong, Bochum (Germany), Rhode Island (USA), and Los Angeles (USA). The Green Energy segment deploys EV chargers and energy storage systems at Hong Kong residential estates, campuses, and commercial properties — visible customers include Lai Yat Garden, Kingswood Estate, Laguna City, Serenity Park, Carnival Garden, and HKUST — generating revenue through equipment sales, installation services, and recurring charging fees.

The Power Battery Recycling segment was inaugurated in June 2026 when Envision Greenwise secured Hong Kong's first Chemical Waste Disposal License for power battery processing and opened the territory's first dedicated facility. The recycling process chain consists of Intelligent Battery Testing and Classification, Safe Discharge, Intelligent Disassembly, and Black Mass Extraction, designed to recover critical materials from end-of-life EV batteries at a moment when Hong Kong's retired battery volume is projected to grow from ~1,300 tonnes in 2026 to ~6,700 tonnes by 2030. The business model combines regulated waste-processing fees, recovered-material sales, and, via a strategic partnership with Gotion High-tech (国轩高科), upstream offtake positioning with a tier-1 Chinese battery manufacturer. The company is held through subsidiaries including Jinyang International (Hong Kong) and Wah Sum Kin Yip Engineering, holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, and has been recognized in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook and with an HKIE MIS Industry Award.

Core offering

Envision Greenwise Holdings provides end-to-end power battery recycling and green energy services. Its core offering includes processing retired EV batteries through intelligent testing, safe discharge, automated disassembly, and Black Mass extraction of valuable metals (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, aluminum). It also delivers EV charging infrastructure installation, network operation, and battery energy storage systems for residential, commercial, and government clients.

Product overview

Envision Greenwise Holdings operates as an integrated smart energy management solutions provider with two core business lines: (1) Power Battery Recycling - a global service network processing end-of-life EV batteries to extract valuable metals into battery black mass for new battery production; and (2) Green Energy - providing EV charging infrastructure and energy storage systems. The company has established processing facilities in Hong Kong, Germany (Bochum), and the USA (Rhode Island, Los Angeles), serving over 70 locations globally. The flagship Hong Kong facility received its Chemical Waste Disposal License in June 2026.

Direct peers

• SungEel HiTech: SungEel HiTech is a leading Korean battery recycler producing Black Mass from end-of-life EV and ESS batteries. Directly comparable to Envision's core business and a relevant regional competitor in Asia.
• Ascend Elements: Ascend Elements is a US-based lithium-ion battery recycler producing both Black Mass and engineered cathode active material (eUpCycle). Comparable to Envision's vertical-integration ambitions from retired battery to battery-grade output.
• Redwood Materials: Redwood is a US-based battery recycling and cathode materials producer founded by a former Tesla CTO. Directly comparable to Envision in producing battery-grade materials from end-of-life batteries, though at much larger scale and with deeper EV OEM partnerships.
• Brunp Recycling (邦普循环): Brunp is a CATL subsidiary and one of the world's largest lithium-ion battery recyclers, processing hundreds of thousands of tonnes annually. Directly comparable to Envision's intelligent disassembly and Black Mass output but at vastly greater scale and with deeper OEM integration.
• GEM Co. (格林美): GEM is China's largest power battery recycler and a direct competitor to Envision's Black Mass and materials recovery business. Both serve EV OEMs and battery manufacturers, but GEM operates at materially larger scale with hydrometallurgical refining depth that Envision lacks.
• Li-Cycle Holdings: Li-Cycle operates a global spoke-and-hub network for lithium-ion battery recycling, producing Black Mass for downstream refiners. Direct peer to Envision's collection-to-Black-Mass model, with comparable multi-region footprint across North America and Europe.

Emerging players

• Cirba Solutions: Cirba Solutions operates battery recycling and materials recovery across North America, processing end-of-life lithium-ion batteries into Black Mass and refined materials. Comparable emerging player to Envision in cross-region recycling operations.

Regional players

• Hydrovolt (Norsk Hydro / Northvolt JV): Hydrovolt is a Norwegian battery recycling joint venture serving the Nordic EV market. Regional peer to Envision's European ambitions with comparable Black Mass production technology.
• Fortum Battery Recycling: Fortum operates one of Europe's largest lithium-ion battery recycling facilities in Finland with hydrometallurgical refining. Comparable to Envision's European operations and a relevant regional peer given Envision's presence in Germany.

Others

• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is a leading global EV charging network operator. Comparable to Envision's EV charging infrastructure line of business but does not overlap with the recycling operations.
