Electronic waste management and lithium-ion battery recycling conglomerate Recyclekaro has announced a major expansion of its operations, increasing its total recycling capacity to 24,000 tonnes annually at its state-of-the-art facility in Palghar, near Mumbai.

This expansion significantly boosts the e-waste recycling capacity of Recyclekaro from 7500 MT to 24000 MT per year and battery recycling capacity from 4200 MT to 10,000 MT per year. This is reinforcing its commitment to advancing India’s green agenda through sustainable solutions for e-waste, battery waste, and plastic recycling.
