President and Managing Director of MG India, Rajeev Chaba said, Ensuring end-to-end sustainability for electric vehicles is something we are passionate about at MG. Since battery waste is a challenge for sustainable mobility, we believe battery recycling is the optimum way of bridging this void. We look forward to doing more work in this space to create sustainable, end-to-end solutions that will help us drive radical impact .
We have seen in recent months that the demand and sales of electric vehicles have seen a rapid increase as compared to previous years. With this, the automotive giants have gradually started designing and producing electric vehicles for the betterment of the public and the environment as well. With the evolution of technology, companies have started producing more petrol, CNG, and electric vehicles rather than diesel engines and a few of them have even stopped manufacturing diesel units.
According to the CEO and co-founder of Attero Recycling, As the momentum of EV players grows, it is becoming critical for India to have a sustainable approach to managing E-waste. It also holds the key to helping our country transition from a linear to a circular economy. We have the technology that enables us to extract almost 99% of all metals from a lithium-ion battery and we envision making India Atma Nirbhar in precious metals such as Copper, Lithium, and Cobalt through these processes. We are delighted to join hands with MG and our partnership will be instrumental in strengthening the EV ecosystem and set an example across the industry.
