Eco Recycling Sees Brighter Prospects for E-Waste & Li-ion Battery Recycling Following NITI Aayog Circular Economy Outlook
Eco Recycling Limited, a leading integrated e-waste and lithium-ion battery recycling company, is pleased to update its stakeholders on the industry’s significantly positive outlook and the enhanced long-term prospects for formal recycling in India. The NITI Aayog report highlights that India is experiencing an exponential rise in e-waste and battery waste streams driven by rapid digitalization, electrification, and the adoption of energy storage technologies. The report emphasizes scaling up formal recycling infrastructure, improving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) mechanisms, and unlocking strategic value from critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel embedded in electronic waste. Eco Recycling is strategically poised to support this national agenda with its expanded recycling operations and a total processing capacity now at 31,200 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) for e-waste and lithium-ion batteries.
Key Highlights
- Robust policy momentum with a focus on scaling up formal recycling infrastructure and improving EPR mechanisms
- Greater economic potential with an estimated annual value of ₹51,000 crore for India’s current e-waste flows
- Eco Recycling’s positioning with expanded recycling operations and a total processing capacity of 31,200 MTPA
- Supportive policy focus, rising demand for sustainable material streams, and the accelerated transition towards electrification and digital infrastructure
