Who we collect from in Jakarta
Manufacturing clusters generate production scrap and off-spec cells during line ramp-up, warranty returns from early vehicles, and validation packs from test tracks. The material is usually single-chemistry and well documented, which makes it some of the cleanest feed in the network.
- Cell and pack assembly plants
- Tier-one module suppliers
- Vehicle assembly lines
- Validation and test centres
How a Jakarta collection runs
We run scheduled scrap collections from plant gates and tier-one suppliers, with dedicated bins per chemistry and a weighbridge reconciliation against each supplier's scrap log. Off-spec cells that never entered a vehicle are graded separately because their value profile is different from end-of-life packs.

Share pack counts, chemistry and approximate state of health. We return an indicative value split and a slotted collection window.

Compliant pickup
Class 9 certified transport with a pre-filled dangerous goods declaration, transporter authorisation and chain-of-custody sheet. Weekly or fortnightly scheduled scrap runs.

Grading via Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu
Every module is tested for capacity, DC resistance and impedance so value is set on measurement, not on age.

Certificate issued
A recovery certificate with achieved percentages per metal and downstream vendor disclosure, for reporting under Government Regulation 22/2021 on environmental protection, including hazardous (B3) waste.
The rules in Indonesia
Government Regulation 22/2021 on environmental protection, including hazardous (B3) waste
Regulator: Ministry of Environment and Forestry
Retired lithium-ion batteries in Indonesia are handled as hazardous (B3) waste, so collectors, transporters and processors need specific permits. The government is promoting a domestic battery supply chain built on the country's nickel resources, and recycling is part of that plan, though dedicated EV battery take-back rules are still emerging.
- Manage retired batteries as B3 waste with permitted handlers
- Keep waste manifests for every transfer
- Report hazardous waste generation and transfers to the environment ministry
- Obtain permits before any import or export of battery waste

Recycling in Jakarta: common questions
Where can I recycle an EV battery in Jakarta?
Retired EV packs in Jakarta are collected on a 24-hour SLA across a 91 km radius and processed through Chennai — Sriperumbudur Recovery Campus. Book a pickup and the despatch desk confirms a window within one working day.
How much does EV battery recycling cost in Jakarta?
Most healthy packs carry positive value rather than a cost: modules above 75% state of health settle at second-life rates and the remainder settles against contained metal. Heavily damaged packs can carry a handling charge.
Which rules apply to battery waste in Jakarta?
Government Regulation 22/2021 on environmental protection, including hazardous (B3) waste, overseen by Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Hazardous waste transport needs a licensed carrier and ministry recommendation, and lithium-ion batteries are shipped as Class 9 dangerous goods.
What kind of material do you collect in Jakarta?
As a manufacturing cluster, Jakarta mainly produces production scrap & line returns. Collections run weekly or fortnightly scheduled scrap runs.
Retiring packs in Jakarta?
Pickups within 24 hours across 91 km, with dangerous goods paperwork pre-filled.
