Second life, second chance: circular economy of batteries

At India Energy Storage Week 2026, BatX Co-founder Vikrant Singh joined a panel on how recycling, critical mineral recovery, and second-life pathways shape resilient energy systems.

Battery circularity is central to building resilient and sustainable supply chains. Not every pack should move immediately into shredding — and not every pack is suited for second life. The industry needs both pathways, governed by assessment and safety.

At India Energy Storage Week (IESW) 2026 in New Delhi, Co-founder Vikrant Singh joined as a key panellist for “Second Life, Second Chance: The Circular Economy of Batteries.”

The discussion explored how battery recycling, critical mineral recovery, and circular value chains are shaping the energy transition — from extending useful life in stationary storage to recovering battery-grade materials when packs finally exit service.

BatX’s perspective remains integrated: collect responsibly, reuse where it is safe and valuable, and recover critical minerals when chemistry and condition call for refining. Circularity is a system, not a single product line.

Industry weeks like IESW matter because they put operators, policymakers, and manufacturers in the same room — where circular economy ideas have to survive contact with logistics, permits, and offtake reality.
