Re Car Technologies Ltd. (RE-CAR) has inaugurated a state\u2011of\u2011the\u2011art industrial facility for recycling electric vehicle (EV) lithium\u2011ion batteries, marking a first in Israel with official licensing from the Environmental Protection Ministry. The plant, established in the northern industrial zone of Arad, spans approximately 7,000 square meters and represents an initial investment of over 15 million shekels, with additional investments expected in the tens of millions.<\/p>\n

RE-CAR was founded by Israeli business leaders Udi Saada – owner of the SLDN Group, Eli Glam, Shmuel Belzitsky, Arthur Hirschfeld and CEO Amnon Sharoor with a vision to build advanced infrastructure for end\u2011of\u2011life vehicle management in Israel. The company provides comprehensive recycling services for conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles, including regulatory handling, customs, reporting and compliance with government and environmental standards.<\/p>\n

The Arad facility is uniquely authorized under a cross\u2011department government permit and a hazardous materials license, enabling safe, controlled recycling of spent EV batteries \u2014 a first for Israel. The location was selected for its industrial zoning and distance from residential areas, enhancing safety and oversight while supporting Arad\u2019s economic development and job growth.<\/p>\n

RE-CAR has already secured long\u2011term battery dismantling agreements with key global automotive and technology players, including BYD, Mobileye, Champion Motors, Renault, Jaguar Land Rover, CATL, and Delek Motors. The company adheres to strict operational and environmental standards aligned with leading international practices, aiming to advance circular economy principles and sustainable industry solutions.<\/p>\n

Udi Saada, chairman of the SLDN Group, said the project fills a critical infrastructure gap. \u201cWe are proud to open a facility that provides a structured industrial response to EV battery recycling,” Saada said. “Arad was chosen for its clear industrial and safety advantages. Early collaboration with major industry players shows the market has been waiting for this solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

CEO Amnon Sharoor highlighted the significance of licensed, regulated battery handling. \u201cThis facility enables the dismantling and processing of lithium\u2011ion batteries under full environmental approval. It\u2019s not a one\u2011off service; it is a managed, secure industrial process from end\u2011of\u2011life battery to recycling. As LFP battery use grows and their metal value remains lower, the need for clean, controlled industrial processes increases \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve built in Arad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

RE-CAR aims to position Israel as a regional hub for advanced EV battery recycling and to export its expertise and technologies across the Middle East and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Re Car Technologies Ltd.
