German residents have been protesting against a battery recycler since September, with nearly 8,000 comments submitted to the licensing procedure.

SungEel's plant, which was closed down last summer, has been cleared of irregularities according to the authority, so it can restart its operation.

The Göd-ÉRT Association and Greenpeace Hungary have joined forces to protest against the polluting operation of the Göd factory.

There is currently no waste management, but waste with battery labels is stored on the site.

Civilians in Göd filed a lawsuit challenging the permit, and the court ordered immediate legal protection in the case.

No one from the government wanted to hear the views of NGOs and professional organisations.

Laboratory tests have revealed significant levels of toxic solvents in the spillage from a pipe burst near the Samsung battery factory.

Mayor Zoltán Kammerer has filed a complaint against an unknown perpetrator in connection with articles published by Átlátszó.

Numerous test data and documents show that Samsung SDI's Göd plant poses a threat to the environment and human health.

SungEel Ltd had been exposing its workers to carcinogenic heavy metals for years.

There is no accurate data on the waste generated at the Samsung factory, according to documents from the plant's environmental procedure.
