With
this significant achievement, MG Motor India has further augmented its
initiatives to strengthen EV ecosystem, essentially making it greener and
sustainable. The move is also in synergy with MG’s #ChangeWhatYouCan campaign,
encouraging people to make a difference in their own lives and the world around
them.
MG
Motor India has teamed up with Attero Recycling to reuse and recycle Li-ion
batteries of India’s first pure electric internet SUV - ZS EV. Focused on
developing a sustainable and clean ecosystem, MG has recently collaborated with
CleanMax to supply 4.85 MW of wind-solar hybrid power to MG’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.
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. Since battery waste is a challenge for sustainable mobility, we
believe battery recycling is the optimum way of bridging this void. 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.”
