Maxvolt ReEarth: Building a Circular Economy for Lithium Batteries
Every battery has a second life. Maxvolt ReEarth recovers lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese to close the loop on sustainable energy.
The clean-energy transition cannot be truly clean unless we solve what happens to batteries at the end of their life. That is the mission of Maxvolt ReEarth, a subsidiary dedicated to establishing one of India's first dedicated lithium-ion battery recycling ecosystems.
ReEarth's recycling plant in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, is being built with a 7,800 metric-tonne-per-year recycling capacity. It collects used batteries from multiple sources — EV packs, telecom backup units and energy-storage systems — and processes them to recover high-value materials including lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese.
The advanced recycling process combines mechanical processing, hydrometallurgical extraction and direct lithium recycling to recover materials at high purity and efficiency. Crucially, the process is compatible with multiple chemistries — LFP, NMC, NCA and LCO — so it can handle the full diversity of batteries entering the waste stream.
Recovered materials flow straight back into new production: lithium and other metals re-enter the supply chain to build new EV, telecom and renewable-energy batteries. This "closing the loop" approach reduces the need for fresh mining, lowers carbon footprint, and supports a genuinely circular battery economy.
For Maxvolt, ReEarth is more than compliance — it is a commitment to recycling today so we can repower tomorrow. Manufacture, use, recycle, repeat.
