Introduction

What is High Voltage Recycling?

High voltage recycling is the safe treatment of end-of-life HV electrical systems - EV chargers, BESS, inverters, power conversion units. These assets carry serious electrical and fire risks if mishandled, requiring specialist facilities and trained teams.

Common High Voltage Recycling Scenarios

Decommissioned BESS, outdated or damaged EV chargers, inverters and power conversion units, HV control systems, lithium-ion battery systems, and solar farm electrical infrastructure.

Why High Voltage Equipment Recycling Matters

As the renewable energy and EV infrastructure sectors expand rapidly, the volume of high voltage equipment reaching the end of its lifecycle is increasing significantly. This equipment not only contains valuable materials that can be recovered and reused, but it also includes hazardous components that require specialised handling and treatment to ensure safety and compliance. Proper recycling of these assets is crucial to prevent environmental harm and to maximise the recovery of precious resources.
