Nitin Gupta, CEO & Co-Founder of Attero, joins Vince Molinari at the New York Stock Exchange to discuss Attero’s mission and vision. Nitin shares that Attero is not just a recycling company; it is a deep tech firm with a strong commitment to sustainability. With over 46 granted global patents and more than 200 filed, Attero is leading the charge in urban mining, aiming to reduce our dependence on traditional mining practices. The company has developed a unique carbon credit methodology that allows it to generate carbon credits for every ton of waste recycled, highlighting the environmental benefits of their processes.

Nitin emphasizes their ubiquitous presence in our daily lives—from consumer electronics to electric vehicles. He points out the geopolitical challenges and supply chain uncertainties that make Attero’s recycling efforts increasingly vital. By utilizing advanced technology, Attero is able to achieve remarkable extraction rates, recycling over 97% of battery-grade lithium and 98% of cobalt and nickel, which is a game-changer for the industry.

As Attero continues to grow—reporting a 100% year-on-year increase and already being the largest company of its kind in India—Nitin shares their ambitions for globalization, including plans to establish facilities in the U.S. and beyond.
