Lithium-ion battery recycling company RecycleKaro today said it has partnered with automotive manufacturing giant Bajaj Auto to employ its Hydrometallurgy technology to recycle end-of-life batteries from Bajaj Auto vehicles.
The innovative Hydrometallurgy technology allows for the recovery of an astounding 95% of high-purity battery raw materials like cobalt, lithium, nickel and manganese, which can then be repurposed to manufacture new batteries.
The partnership will enable recycling of an estimated 500 metric tonnes of end-of-life batteries annually, marking a substantial step towards minimizing battery waste and optimizing resource utilization.
The company said the initiative aligns with global sustainability objectives, ensuring that the materials from used batteries are not only recovered but also re-enter the manufacturing cycle, thereby reducing the need for new raw materials.
RecycleKaro’s Founder and director, Rajesh Gupta, emphasises the urgency of addressing the escalating challenge of battery waste in the rapidly growing Electric Vehicle (EV) market.
RecycleKaro operates India's largest zero-waste, lithium-ion battery recycling facility, located in Palghar, near Mumbai, and spread across 17 acres.
