In an effort to expand up its current capabilities within the battery recycling/urban mining area and hence fuel the startup’s strategic business growth, Bengaluru-based Metastable Materials has announced the commissioning of an urban mining operation located on the outskirts of Bengaluru, Karnataka.
The Unit is equipped with quality control and material handling capabilities to facilitate and manage the recycling of hazardous end-of-life batteries and products based on the “waste-as-ore” concept.
A chemical-free integrated carbothermal reduction (ICR) technique will be used at Metastable’s new facility, which is 21,000 square feet in size, to recover valuable minerals from lithium-ion batteries.
