It will include a commercial facility that can dispose of 1,000 tons of used lithium batteries annually. Upon the completion, the park is expected to be over 20 square kilometers in area and be a national environmentally-friendly themed park that combines a green electronics exhibition; custom supervision; and production, research and development, and incubator facilities.
