Omega Seiki Mobility, a leading electric vehicle manufacturer has announced a partnership with Attero, a leading e-waste management and lithium-ion battery recycling.
The partners state that with over 10,000 electric vehicles 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, emphasising their dedication to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.
Attero’s facility has a formidable capacity to process 145,000 metric tonne of e-waste and 11,000 metric tonnes of battery waste annually which it plans to scale up to 15,000 metric tonnes by February 2024. This capacity is a crucial element in tackling the environmental challenges associated with the escalating production and disposal of electric vehicle components. With more than 45 granted global patents, and over 200 applied for Attero states it is leading player in li-ion battery recycling and sustainable e-waste management.
The EV maker says its commitment extends beyond its own operations, urging suppliers to embrace sustainable practices. It ensures the recycling of 100% of its waste, recognising the pivotal role of waste management in fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly future.
Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman, Omega Seiki said, “In the pursuit of excellence and sustainability, waste management holds a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of Omega Seiki. 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.”
This strategic alliance between OSPL and Attero extends beyond India, encompassing the ASEAN and African regions. They aspire to contribute to a cleaner and greener future globally, setting new standards for sustainable practices and conscientious e-waste management in the electric vehicle sector.
Nitin Gupta, CEO & Co-Founder, Attero said, “With EV production on the rise, it is becoming critical for India to have a sustainable approach to recycling lithium-ion batteries. The improper disposal of li-ion battery recycling is not only an environmental threat but also a wasted opportunity to extract rare materials. At Attero, we extract battery grade metals like cobalt, lithium carbonate, graphite with 98% efficiency utilising our innovative, globally patented, and world-class technology, contributing to the carbon-positive circular economy. We are excited to collaborate with Omega Seiki, and we believe that this partnership will play a significant role in shaping battery recycling in the future and fostering a more environmentally conscious and sustainable society.”
