China lithium battery industry continues to expand rapidly, but alongside this growth, the government has intensified regulatory checks to eliminate illegal battery recyclers, unlicensed lithium workshops, and unqualified battery refurbishing operations. These actions aim to protect global buyers, ensure supply chain safety, and maintain high-quality standards across the industry.
As the crackdown accelerates, GBE Battery reinforces its commitment to providing only A-grade, factory-new lithium cells, ensuring customers receive safe, reliable, and fully compliant products.
In recent years, some unauthorized businesses have engaged in:
Repackaging or repainting used / B-grade / scrap cells
Selling recycled batteries as “new grade” lithium products
Operating unlicensed production workshops with no QC or safety standards
Mixing unqualified cells into large battery packs, creating safety hazards
Environmental violations in battery dismantling and chemical handling
These practices result in:
Battery fires and explosions
False labeling and inconsistent performance
Poor cycle life and hidden risks
Damage to China's battery industry reputation
To protect the global lithium battery supply chain, Chinese authorities have strengthened inspections, shut down illegal workshops, and implemented strict traceability requirements for genuine cell manufacturers.
Regions with Publicly Reported Unregulated Battery Cell Recyclers/Small Workshops
According to multiple media reports and industry investigations:
Guangdong Province
Reports indicate the existence of numerous small, unlicensed dismantling workshops in Dongguan and other areas.--China Energy News, Sina Finance
These small workshops often use violent dismantling methods to recycle power batteries.--Sina Finance
In Guangzhou, there is a stark contrast between legitimate recycling plants and illegal dismantling workshops.--China Energy News
Henan/Jiangsu Provinces
Media reports indicate that some small workshops are active in provinces such as Henan and Jiangsu, aggressively acquiring used battery resources at high prices.-news.cctv.com Local governments (such as Sichuan Province) are also strengthening the management of used power battery recycling.
Sichuan Provincial People's Government
Liaoning Province An Outlook Weekly report mentions that while Liaoning Province has large, legitimate dismantling plants, it also has numerous small, unregulated recycling organizations.- Outlook Weekly
⚠️ Why are these areas receiving special attention?
High recycling volume areas: Guangdong (Dongguan, Guangzhou) is a region with a highly developed electric vehicle and battery industry, resulting in a large volume of retired batteries. This has attracted unregulated recyclers.
Complete industrial chain: Some provinces possess dismantling, recycling, and reuse capabilities, but insufficient regulation allows small workshops to operate.
Increased regulatory: As the national government cracks down on the waste power battery recycling system, local authorities are intensifying their crackdowns on illegal workshops. These hotspots are also under concentrated scrutiny.
In recent years, China has intensified its efforts to regulate the substandard power battery recycling market, particularly in provinces such as Guangdong (e.g., Dongguan, Guangzhou), Henan, Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Liaoning, where numerous unlicensed small workshops and underground dismantling plants exist.
In response, GBE Battery firmly supports the national recycling regulatory policies and consistently insists on sourcing Grade A lithium battery cells from legitimate channels. All our cells come from certified, legitimate factories, possessing complete testing reports and traceability systems, eliminating any refurbished or recycled cells of unknown origin.
Choosing GBE Battery means choosing a safe, compliant, and traceable high-quality supply chain.
With enforcement increasing, buyers must choose certified, trustworthy suppliers that offer:
Verified A-grade lithium cells (with serial numbers & factory data)
Compliance with UN38.3 / MSDS / IEC standards
Stable production capability and long-term supply contracts
Transparent sourcing from major cell brands such as Gotion, CATL, EVE, REPT, etc.
This is why working with reputable exporters like GBE Battery is more important than ever.
As a long-term supplier in the global lithium industry, GBE Battery does NOT source any recycled, repacked, or B-grade cells.
Instead, we offer:
From trusted brands such as:
Gotion High-Tech
EVE
REPT
Customers can verify:

Solid-state batteries refer to lithium-ion batteries that use solid electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes. Based on the amount of solid electrolyte used, they can be further divided into two main categories: semi-solid-state batteries and all-solid-state batteries:1) Semi-solid-state batteries
Semi-solid-state batteries, which relevant authorities plan to uniformly name "solid-liquid batteries," are a type of battery that uses a hybrid solid-liquid electrolyte. They incorporate a solid electrolyte while retaining some liquid electrolyte, building upon the foundation of traditional lithium
