Circular Economy Strategy for Batteries in India

Re-use and recycling of batteries are a key component of the circular economy strategy for the batteries from electric vehicles, stationary and other applications. With the increasing push for battery manufacturing to cater to the growing demand from the renewable and electric vehicle sector, it is important to adopt the circular economy strategy for energy storage. An efficient recycling ecosystem for the batteries will not only help in efficient utilization of the resources, but it will also generate business and job opportunities.   

Key discussion points in this webinar include:
– Status of recycling batteries for electric vehicles in India
– Policy frameworks to mainstream battery recycling in India
– Mechanism for utilization of recycled materials
– Efficiency of recycling ecosystem
– Scope of job opportunities once the recycling industry is mainstream
– Environmental aspects of recycling batteries
