MG Motor India In Collaboration With Attero Recycles First EV Battery

MG Motor India in partnership with Attero has successfully recycled its first EV battery and the metal extracts and various other commodities from the recycling process, that can be used to develop new batteries. It was in May 2021 when the company entered into a partnership with Attero to recycle EV batteries after their end-of-life to further reduce the carbon footprint of ZS EV users. Attero, India's largest electronic asset management company and clean-tech provider, conducts its battery end-of-use management in India. With this achievement, the Chinese-owned British carmaker has further augmented its initiatives to strengthen the EV ecosystem.

Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India, said, "Ensuring end-to-end sustainability for electric vehicles is something we are passionate about at MG.

We look forward to doing more work in this space to create sustainable, end-to-end solutions that will help us drive radical impact".

Nitin Gupta, CEO and Co-founder - Attero Recycling, "As the momentum of EV players grows, it is becoming critical for India to have a sustainable approach to managing E-waste. It also holds the key to helping our country transition from a linear to a circular economy. We have the technology that enables us to extract almost 99% of all metals from a lithium-ion battery and we envision making India Atmanirbhar in precious metals such as Copper, Lithium and Cobalt through these processes. We are delighted to join hands with MG and our partnership will be instrumental in strengthening the EV ecosystem and set an example across the industry."

For developing a sustainable and clean ecosystem, MG has recently collaborated with CleanMax to supply 4.85 MW of wind-solar hybrid power to the brand's manufacturing facility in Halol, Gujarat. With this partnership, MG will abate approximately 2 lakh MT of CO2 over 15 years, equal to planting more than 13 lakh trees.
