The concept of “circular economy” is dear to the hearts of environmentalists, as it promises that items produced with big carbon footprints get used more than once. It’s also key to the success of Guangdong Jinsheng New Energy Co. Ltd., a company founded by five brothers surnamed Li who were among the first to embrace that concept for lithium-ion battery recycling in 2014.
After soaking up millions of lithium batteries for recycling in the decade since its founding, Jinsheng is now hoping to soak up some investment dollars through a Hong Kong IPO, according to its listing application filed on Dec. 20. But first Jinsheng will have to convince the market that it can manage the price volatility for the materials it recycles.
