To meet its growing operations, the new funding will be channeled into recruitment to support Metastable’s manufacturing and industrial engineering functions, as well as for managing its supply chain and day-to-day operations, the company said.

Shubham Vishvakarma, founder, of Metastable Materials, said, “Natural resources are finite, and our collective vision of a more sustainable future. will depend on our ability to first recycle and second, to do so in a way that is cost-efficient, scalable, and environmentally friendly. We’re proud to be pioneering a solution that safeguards our future, from providing a sustainable supply of metals for the manufacture of EV batteries to setting new benchmarks for the way metals are recycled, paving the way for new technologies and innovations that will have the power to truly move the needle in fighting climate change.”

In addition to its innovative recycling technology, Metastable is also working on developing storage and packaging solutions to facilitate the safe transport of used batteries from consumers to recycling facilities. Presently, the methods used in India for storage and transportation do not always adhere to the highest international standards, and the packaging materials used are often unregulated and flammable. In contrast, Metastable’s packaging is specially designed with a multi-layered, heat-resistant structure that mitigates the risk of fire, enabling the safe transportation of batteries in bulk.
