BatX Energies has inaugurated a state-of-the-art lithium battery recycling and critical minerals extraction facility in Uttar Pradesh. The plant employs a hydrometallurgical process to efficiently recover valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from used lithium-ion batteries. This process is designed to recycle all types of lithium-ion battery waste, including manufacturing rejects from upcoming gigafactories.
The new facility builds on BatX’s earlier success, following the launch of its first black mass production plant in Sikandrabad, Uttar Pradesh, in 2022. This new plant scales operations to a commercial level after a successful 21-month industrial pilot, marking a significant milestone for the company.
“This transformative step in the downstream battery recycling value chain harnesses BatX’s proprietary chemical process to extract high-purity critical materials, which are ideally suited for specialty applications and the lithium-ion cell manufacturing industry,” the company said in a statement.
The facility takes a vertically integrated approach, combining material extraction with the development of second-life energy storage solutions. It caters to batteries at any stage of their lifecycle, operating with zero-emission, zero-waste processes. BatX claims the facility achieves exceptionally low energy consumption while meeting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets.
“This pioneering approach not only makes critical materials for EV batteries more affordable and accessible but also aligns seamlessly with the Ministry of Environment & Forest’s Battery Waste Management Rules 2022,” BatX Energies added. The company aims to contribute to the sustainability of the electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain while reducing the environmental impact of battery disposal.
