- DS DANSUK Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based resource circulation and eco-friendly energy enterprise engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of bioenergy fuels, recycled battery materials, and specialty plastic chemical additives. The company organizes its operations across three primary business divisions: Bioenergy, Battery Recycling, and Plastic Recycling. The Bioenergy division produces renewable fuels and feedstocks derived from waste oils and animal fats, including biodiesel for automotive transportation; bio-heavy oil for power generation; bio-marine fuel for maritime shipping; and hydrotreated vegetable oil pre-treatment feedstocks for sustainable aviation fuel production. The Battery Recycling division recovers and refines metal resources from end-of-life batteries, manufacturing secondary lead ingots; refined lead and custom lead alloys for industrial and automotive batteries; recycled lithium-ion battery black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and lithium; and industrial energy storage systems. The Plastic Recycling division manufactures high-performance polymer additives and circular materials, including polyvinyl chloride thermal stabilizers; non-toxic layered double hydrotalcite; metallic soaps; post-consumer recycled plastic resins; and specialized engineering plastic compounds. The company serves petroleum refiners, aviation fuel producers, automotive component manufacturers, chemical processors, and battery manufacturers across domestic and international markets, operating domestic manufacturing complexes in Siheung, Pyeongtaek, and Gunsan, alongside international sourcing and sales subsidiaries in Malaysia, Pakistan, and China. Founded in 1965 as a fine chemicals producer and formerly known as Dansuk Industrial Co., Ltd., the company is headquartered in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and completed its initial public offering on the Korea Exchange in December 2023 under ticker 017860. In recent strategic developments, DS DANSUK has accelerated its expansion into next-generation renewable fuels and advanced electric vehicle battery circularity. In late 2024, the company secured a major multi-year supply agreement valued at approximately KRW 1 trillion to provide hydrotreated vegetable oil-based sustainable aviation fuel feedstock to US energy corporation Phillips 66. To advance its aviation decarbonization initiatives, the company established a specialized subsidiary, DS Orvion, focused on sustainable aviation fuel infrastructure and global market distribution. Concurrently, DS DANSUK expanded processing capacity at its Pyeongtaek pre-treatment facility, commissioned a dedicated lithium-ion battery recycling and black mass extraction facility in Gunsan, and introduced commercial-scale energy storage systems integrated with proprietary energy management software.
