Why Recycle?
Recycling Lithium Batteries are crucial for conserving resources, protecting the environment, and reducing energy consumption. In India, where the demand for lithium batteries is rapidly growing, recycling plays a vital role in managing waste and recovering valuable materials.
With India Battery Market size estimated at USD 7.20 billion in 2024, which is expected to reach USD 15.65 billion by 2029, proper recycling can help address the environmental challenges associated with battery disposal.
Most unrecycled batteries often end up in landfills, where they pose a serious risk of contaminating soil and groundwater reserves. While landfilling is designed as a controlled waste management method to minimise environmental harm, the reality is that over time, hazardous chemicals and heavy metals from batteries can leach out, especially if the landfill is not properly engineered or maintained.
Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Process
Step 1
Collection & Transportation
End-of-life lithium-ion batteries are gathered from multiple sources and categorized according to their type and chemistry.
Step 2
Sorting & Disassembly
After sorting, end-of-life lithium-ion batteries are disassembled to segregate different components, including cells and casings, to optimize the recovery of metals.
Step 3
Shredding
At this stage, the batteries undergo mechanical processing, breaking them down into smaller components to facilitate metal separation and recovery.
Step 4
Drying & Purification
To promote green recycling, end-of-life lithium-ion batteries are heated in a controlled environment to remove moisture and neutralize harmful gases.
Step 5
Separation by Magnet, Gravity and Screening Methods
By applying magnetic force, air currents, and vibration screening, the dried metals are segregated to achieve maximum purity.
Step 6
Recovery of Metals
Metals such as black mass, copper, aluminium, steel shells, and plastic are efficiently recovered with a purity exceeding 98%.
