Omega Seiki, a mobility solutions company, and Attero, an e-waste management and lithium-ion battery recycling company, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). Under the partnership, Attero will play a key role in repurposing batteries of over 10,000 electric vehicles already deployed by Omega Seiki for energy storage. 

Omega Seiki plans to deploy electric vehicle (EV) batteries totalling over 1 GWH in the next 5 years, accompanied by a collective target with Attero to recycle over 100 MWh of batteries in the next 3-4 years to address the complete lifecycle of EV components and ensure responsible EV battery solutions. 

Attero’s cutting-edge facility can substantially process 1,45,000 metric tons of e-waste and 11,000 metric tons of battery waste annually. The company plans to scale up to 15,000 metric tonnes by February 2024. This ramp-up is aimed at solving the mounting environmental concerns surrounding electric vehicle production and disposal.
