In a landmark move for both the electric vehicle (EV) sector and e-waste management, Omega Seiki (OSPL) and Attero, a distinguis­hed leader in e-waste management and lithiumion battery recycling, have signed an MOU that marks a significan­t leap for the EV sector and lithium-ion battery recycling. With over 10,000 EV already deployed by Omega Seiki, Attero will play a key role in repurposin­g their batteries for energy storage, aligning with the shared devotion of both entities to address the complete lifecycle of EV components and ensure responsibl­e EV battery solutions. Omega Seiki plans to deploy EV batteries totalling over 1 GWH in the next 5 years, accompanie­d by a collective target with Attero to recycle over 100 MWH of batteries in the next 3-4 years, emphasizin­g their dedication to sustainabl­e practices and environmen­tal stewardshi­p. Attero’s cutting-edge facility has a formidable capacity to process 1,45,000 metric tons of E-waste and 11,000 metric tons of Battery Waste annually which it plans to scale up to 15000 metric tonnes by February 2024.

With more than 45 granted global patents, and over 200 applied for Attero is a pioneer in lithium battery recycling and sustainabl­e e-waste management. “Through our collaborat­ion with Attero, we reaffirm our dedication to environmen­tal stewardshi­p, aiming not only to propel advancemen­ts in EV technology but also to set industry benchmarks in conscienti­ous battery waste management,” says Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki. Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder of Attero Nitin Gupta feels it is becoming critical for India to have a sustainabl­e approach to recycling lithium-ion batteries and that this partnershi­p will play a significan­t role in shaping battery recycling in the future and fostering a more environmen­tally conscious and sustainabl­e society.
