Attero Recycling Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian e-waste and lithium-ion battery recycling company based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The company was set up in 2008 by Nitin Gupta and Rohan Gupta, and runs a recycling plant in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. The plant has a licensed processing capacity of 1.44 lakh tonnes of e-waste per year.[1][2][3]
The company has been reported on by outlets such as Reuters, the Economic Times, and The Hindu. It is among the larger formally licensed e-waste processors operating in India.[4][5][6]
History
Attero started operations at its Roorkee plant in 2008.[1][2] A separate section for lithium-ion battery recycling was added to the same facility in 2019.[7]
By 2024, the company had been granted 46 global patents related to its recycling processes.[8] The company states that its battery recycling process recovers over 98% of critical materials at battery-grade purity.[5]
Materials recovered through Attero's processes include gold, silver, copper, cobalt, lithium, nickel, and graphite, sourced from used electronics and spent batteries.[9]
Operations
In November 2022, Attero signed an MoU with the Government of Telangana to set up a lithium-ion battery recycling plant across 50 acres, with a planned investment of ₹600 crore.[10] As of May 2024, the company's CEO said the site for this new Indian facility was still being decided, with Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand under consideration.[11]
In May 2022, Reuters reported that Attero was looking to spend around US$1 billion on new plants in Poland, Ohio, and Indonesia, with the plans tied to growth in electric vehicle sales.[6]
The company runs an e-waste take-back platform called Selsmart. As of early 2025, Selsmart operated in 25 cities and handled around 30,000 orders per month, according to The Hindu Business Line.[3][12]
