Conclave on Waste Recycling & Climate Change

To all the sceptics: Welcome to the future of recycling

   February 22, 2025

When I unveiled Rubamin Pvt. Limited‘s Industry 4.0-powered zero-waste lithium-ion battery recycling facility for critical metals at REIAI Association’s conclave on sustainable waste management and FICCI’s summit on tech in recycling, many in the audience were skeptical. Could an Indian recycler truly be at the cutting edge of tech?

I realised that their disbelief is not because the technology isn’t real, but because they are exhausted from the continuous overpromising and underdelivering in the recycling ecosystem.

Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution, where data, automation, and intelligence come together to create smart, self-optimizing systems. It transforms industries by connecting machines and people to #AI for driving efficiency and real-time decision-making.

Our instruments are designed to collect real-time data from over 4000 input output counts and feeding it into a central server. The system is capable of being educated to automatically adjust process parameters using #ArtificialIntelligence and #MachineLearning to match ever-changing feedstock compositions. The result? High Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), lower energy consumption, superior quality and unmatched recovery of critical metals.

Seeing is believing. So here is a picture of the nerve centre of the largest and smartest zero-waste lithium battery recycling facility in India! India is going to lead the way in critical metals recycling. Doubt if you must. But the future doesn’t wait.
