PURE EV Gets Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Certificate
PURE EV, an Electric Two Wheeler (EV2W) manufacturer headquartered in Telangana, India, has attained a significant milestone with the receipt of certification for battery recycling. This commendable achievement comes in the wake of the Centre’s implementation of the Battery Waste Management (BWM) Rules, 2022 in August of the previous year, underscoring PURE EV’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
I a strategic move, PURE EV has not only secured the certification but has also seamlessly integrated additional revenue generation strategy. The recycling is done at two levels: first by recycling the lithium ion cells and electronics to extract key metals and the second one by refurbishing the aged lithium ion batteries, which have application in industry and rural storage solutions.
The company has been granted the certificate to ensure proper and responsible management of lithium-ion battery waste.This significant acknowledgment underscores PURE EV’s leadership in setting industry standards for responsible battery management. Company is also planning to launch a buy back option for the consumers to exchange their older generation batteries, which would have crossed 30,000 KM/40,000 KM with the latest generation smart batteries.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global lithium-ion battery recycling market size was valued at USD 3.22 billion in 2022 and is expected to be worth USD 3.79 billion in 2023. The market is projected to reach USD 14.89 billion by 2030, recording a CAGR of 21.6% during the forecast period. Recycling of these lithium ion batteries/cells involves the extraction of raw materials like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. This aspect is anticipated to act as a catalyst for the expansion of the lithium-ion battery recycling market and especially becoming popular among EV manufacturers, thereby developing circularity in electric vehicle supply chains.
