Maxvolt ReEarth aims to collaborate with various stakeholders, including EV manufacturers and government entities.
MaxVolt Energy has launched a subsidiary called ‘MaxVolt ReEarth’ to enter the lithium battery recycling market in India, aimed at creating an integrated ecosystem to support electric vehicle adoption and promote circular economy goals by reducing reliance on virgin materials and waste. This initiative focuses on a comprehensive recycling process, including second-life applications, disassembly, and the production of high-quality black mass and other valuable minerals, thereby keeping battery resources within the value chain.
Circular economy strategy
The company plans to process various battery materials such as LFP, NMC, NCA, and LCO, while also addressing the demand for critical resources like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. Leveraging advanced mechanical processing and hydrometallurgy extraction methodologies, MaxVolt ReEarth seeks to enhance recovery yields with minimal environmental impact, aligning with both Indian and international environmental standards.
