The rapid growth of electric mobility and energy storage solutions across Southeast Asia has triggered a parallel surge in lithium-ion battery waste. Yet, the region remains in the early stages of building a comprehensive recycling ecosystem capable of handling this influx. In this session, a clear picture will be presented of the current lithium-ion battery recycling landscape in Southeast Asia, focusing on Malaysia and Indonesia.

The presentation will cover key challenges—including the lack of harmonized regulations, limited collection networks, and technological barriers—and how industry leaders like EcoNiLi are turning these challenges into opportunities. Drawing on real case studies and operational data, Jayden will explain how hydrometallurgical processes are being applied to recover critical materials, such as black mass, safely and efficiently. Attendees will gain insights into scalable recycling models, regional supply chain dynamics, and how a circular economy approach can turn battery waste into valuable resources, contributing to both sustainability goals and economic growth.

This session is ideal for technical delegates seeking practical knowledge of how lithium-ion recycling is being implemented on the ground in Southeast Asia.
