Recyclekaro, a prominent e-waste and lithium-ion battery recycling company, proudly announces its registration on the government’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) portal for e-waste recycling. As one of the four registered lithium-ion battery recyclers alongside industry leaders Lohum Cleantech, Attero, and LICO Materials, Recyclekaro reaffirms its commitment to sustainable e-waste management in India.
The registration on the EPR portal aligns with Recyclekaro’s mission to support lithium-ion battery and electronics product manufacturers, producers, and importers in meeting their EPR targets. These targets, set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), mandate the recycling of 4,200 MT of lithium-ion batteries and 15,000 MT of e-waste annually in India.
India ranks as the third-largest e-waste producer globally, generating 1.71 million metric tons annually, with only approximately 40% recycled in the last financial year. To address this challenge, the EPR portal offers a transparent and accountable framework for electronic waste management, facilitating the tracking of e-waste from production to disposal.
Rajesh Gupta, Founder & Director of Recyclekaro, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Registering on the government’s EPR portal not only allows us to fulfill manufacturers’ waste management responsibilities but also significantly enhances our business opportunities. Being among the four registered recyclers for lithium-ion battery end-to-end recycling is a major milestone that showcases our credibility.”
Recyclekaro has established a strong presence in the Indian recycling industry, achieving 90% metal extraction efficiency with purity levels exceeding 99% from scrap batteries. The company plans to double its recycling capacity by the second quarter of FY 2024-25, furthering its commitment to sustainable and responsible recycling practices.
