The surge in electric vehicles (EVs), portable devices, and renewable energy solutions has made lithium-ion batteries indispensable in our modern world. With increasing reliance on these batteries, however, comes a significant environmental challenge: the responsible disposal, reusing, and recycling of lithium-ion batteries. As the global demand for EVs, smartphones, and renewable energy storage skyrockets, so does the need for a sustainable lifecycle for lithium-ion batteries. This challenge presents an unprecedented opportunity for companies like LOHUM to lead the charge in reverse logistics for lithium-ion batteries, a process that promises not only to reduce environmental impact but also to open new doors for economic opportunities. The Rise of Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized how we power the world. From electric vehicles to smartphones, laptops, and energy storage systems, they have become the cornerstone of modern technological advancements. A...

As the global demand for electric vehicles (EVs), smartphones, laptops, and renewable energy storage solutions continues to rise, the need for sustainable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery value recovery is becoming increasingly urgent. According to analysts, the demand for lithium-ion batteries is set to grow tenfold in the next decade, making it critical to develop methods for managing the end-of-life (EOL) of these batteries effectively. The Growing Need for Li-Ion Battery Waste Management Lithium-ion batteries are the cornerstone of modern energy storage solutions, powering everything from electric vehicles (EVs) to smartphones and renewable energy systems. With the rapid expansion of EV markets and renewable energy solutions, the use of lithium-ion batteries is expected to increase exponentially. However, this growth comes with a looming challenge: how to deal with the rising volume of lithium-ion battery waste. By 2030, it is projected that more than 2 million metric tonnes of l...

As the world races toward electrification, lithium-ion batteries have become the backbone of the global transition to clean energy. From electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones to renewable energy storage, their importance is undeniable. Yet, as we scale up battery deployment, a new frontier emerges — how we manage the end-of-life journey of these power-packed devices. At LOHUM , we believe the answer lies in designing a truly circular economy for batteries, built on the foundation of sustainable Li-ion battery materials . The Imbalance Between Demand and Supply The battery boom is real and accelerating. The U.S. Department of Energy projects the global battery market could grow 10-fold over the next decade . But there's a catch — the world’s mining operations, despite their rapid expansion, simply cannot extract enough lithium, cobalt, and nickel to meet this skyrocketing demand. Mining new materials isn't just slow and expensive — it’s ecologically taxing. Traditional ...

In the global race toward electrification, lithium-ion batteries have emerged as the cornerstone of mobility, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage. However, with the skyrocketing demand for batteries—driven by electric vehicles (EVs), grid-scale storage, and portable electronics—there’s a growing realization that mining alone cannot support the required scale of materials. It’s not just about meeting demand. It’s about doing it sustainably, responsibly, and economically. At LOHUM , we’re committed to powering the energy transition through innovative solutions in lithium-ion battery reuse, recycling, and refined material production. With our vertically integrated model and a mission to maximize resource value and minimize environmental impact , we are uniquely positioned at the forefront of circular energy solutions. The Problem: Demand Surges, Supply Struggles The battery market is expanding at an unprecedented pace. The U.S. Department of Energy projects that...

As the world accelerates its transition to clean energy, lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) have become the lifeblood of electrification—from electric vehicles (EVs) and portable electronics to grid-scale energy storage. But with this meteoric rise comes a sobering challenge: how do we sustainably manage the massive volume of batteries that will reach end-of-life in the coming decades? At LOHUM , we believe that sustainability and scalability must go hand-in-hand. Our mission is to build a circular economy for energy transition materials , and recycling is at the heart of that vision. We are driving the charge toward responsible sourcing, re-use, and advanced recycling of Li-ion batteries with a closed-loop approach that prioritizes both environmental stewardship and economic resilience. The Growing Demand and Rising Challenge The global battery market is set to grow tenfold in the next decade. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, lithium-ion battery demand is poised to skyroc...

The global shift toward electric mobility and renewable energy is accelerating—and at the heart of this transition is the humble lithium-ion battery. These batteries are powering everything from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and grid storage systems. But while demand for Li-ion batteries is growing exponentially, challenges such as raw material scarcity, supply chain dependency, and environmental degradation are mounting just as rapidly. At LOHUM , we believe that the solution lies not just in innovation—but in circularity. The Rising Demand and the Recycling Imperative Over the next decade, the battery market is projected to grow tenfold , driven primarily by the explosive adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the global energy storage revolution. But existing mining operations are already struggling to keep pace. In fact, all of the world’s current mining capacity is insufficient to meet projected lithium demand . Adding to this pressure, establishing new...

The electrification of mobility is no longer a vision of the future—it's happening now. From scooters to motorcycles, school buses to trucks, and even electric planes, the global shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating. The heart of this transformation is the lithium-ion battery , which powers everything from smartphones to solar storage systems. Yet, as the world rushes to adopt EVs, a pressing question emerges: What happens when these batteries reach their end-of-life? At LOHUM , we’re not just asking this question—we’re answering it by building a sustainable circular economy for lithium-ion batteries , particularly for the rapidly growing 2-wheeler & 3-wheeler EV segments in India. As a leader in battery recycling, repurposing, and raw material recovery , LOHUM is pioneering a model of sustainability that minimizes environmental impact, supports domestic manufacturing, and meets the surging demand for critical minerals. The Rising Tide of Battery Waste By 203...
