Practical reading for anyone evaluating battery recycling capacity, sourcing recovered materials, or building circular supply chains.
TechnologyWhy black mass is the linchpin of battery recycling
Black mass concentrates the valuable metals from spent cells into a single intermediate stream. Understanding its composition, purity requirements, and downstream pathways is essential for anyone evaluating recycling partnerships.
IndustryIndia's EV boom needs a recycling plan — now
With EV sales accelerating, end-of-life battery volumes will follow within 5–8 years. Countries that build formal recovery capacity today avoid the landfill and import crises of tomorrow.
PartnershipsWhat OEMs should ask before choosing a recycling partner
Chain of custody, chemistry handling capability, recovery rates, environmental permits, and output specifications — a practical diligence checklist for procurement and sustainability teams.
TechnologyHydrometallurgy vs pyrometallurgy in battery recycling
Two dominant recovery pathways with very different energy profiles, material selectivity, and environmental footprints. Why BatX chose low-temperature hydrometallurgy for chemistry-agnostic processing.
PolicyCritical minerals and Atmanirbhar Bharat
India imports over 90% of its lithium needs. Domestic battery recycling is one of the fastest paths to reducing that dependence — without opening new mines.
SustainabilitySecond-life batteries: when reuse beats recycling
Not every spent battery needs immediate shredding. Assessment protocols can extend useful life in stationary storage before material recovery — maximising value and delaying waste.
