Compliant channelization for end-of-life batteries with traceability, documentation, and verified recycler networks.
End-of-life batteries carry three compounding risks that require a specifically managed approach.
Li-ion cells can enter thermal runaway if punctured, crushed, or left to degrade. Improperly stored end-of-life Li-ion batteries have caused warehouse fires and office incidents across India.
of battery fires involve Li-ion cells
Batteries contain cobalt, nickel, manganese, and lead. When landfilled or informally dismantled, these leach into soil and groundwater — causing long-term environmental damage and regulatory liability.

Under Battery Waste Management Rules 2022, producers and bulk consumers have specific obligations around collection, channelization, and documentation. Informal disposal exposes you to CPCB penalties.
