Recycling of key minerals vital for clean energy tech: Experts

The allocation of a Rs 1,500 crore incentive scheme to promote the recycling of battery waste and e-waste for the extraction of key minerals is set to reshape India’s material supply chain, reduce import dependence, and accelerate the country’s transition to a circular economy, according to industry experts. Rajat Verma, founder & CEO of LOHUM, is of the view that by recycling critical mineral-containing waste streams, India has the opportunity to convert discarded assets into strategic resources, cut import dependence, and accelerate high-value manufacturing across the nation.
