Attero, India’s leading cleantech company and the world’s largest recycler of lithium-ion batteries, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by securing the ISO 14064 Certification for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Verification. This accomplishment makes Attero the first Indian company in the e-waste recycling industry to earn this certification, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and environmental transparency.
ISO 14064 is an internationally recognized standard for verifying GHG emissions. The certification process involves meticulous carbon footprint assessments verified by independent third parties. By attaining this certification, Attero has validated its carbon emissions data, reinforcing its dedication to transparent and accountable environmental practices.
“The ISO 14064 certification is a testament to Attero’s unwavering commitment to a sustainable future,” said Nitin Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Attero. “We are setting a new industry standard in GHG emissions management while inspiring others to embrace transparent and impactful environmental practices. This achievement aligns with our mission to transform waste into resources and create a cleaner planet.”
As a pioneer in the circular economy, Attero collaborates with major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to recycle e-waste and lithium-ion batteries. Utilizing advanced technology supported by 46+ patents, Attero achieves a 98% extraction efficiency and over 99% purity, recovering critical materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
The company plans to expand its annual e-waste processing capacity from 144,000 metric tonnes to 415,000 metric tonnes within five years. Attero is also the only organization certified by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for generating carbon credits, further validating its contributions to global sustainability.
In addition to recycling initiatives, Attero recently launched Selsmart, a direct-to-consumer platform designed to promote responsible e-waste disposal. With operations spanning six countries and a robust R&D pipeline, Attero is at the forefront of tackling e-waste challenges with innovative solutions.
This ISO certification represents a pivotal moment for the e-waste recycling industry. By prioritizing independently verified emissions data, Attero has raised the bar for sustainable practices, setting an inspiring example for businesses worldwide.
