Attero, an Indian urban mining company, has completed an independently verified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for metals recovered from e-waste and lithium-ion batteries. The assessment follows ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards and covers metals like aluminium, copper, iron, zinc, tin, silver, and gold. The verified data allows customers to compare the environmental impact of recycled metals against virgin mined metals, supporting ESG reporting and Scope 3 emissions accounting. The company says its recycling processes achieve 98% recovery efficiency and purity above 99.9%. Attero holds over 50 global patents and operates facilities in India, South Korea, Poland, and other countries. It is also certified by the UNFCCC for generating carbon credits. This milestone gives buyers a science-backed way to quantify the sustainability benefits of choosing recycled critical minerals over mined ones.

ISO verified LCA for recycled metals is a solid step. Customers can actually compare footprints now instead of guessing. Attero seems to have the scale to make this matter.

Agreed. The 98% recovery and 99.9% purity numbers are what I want to see verified by a third party. If those hold, this is a real alternative to virgin mining for some supply chains.

The LCA covers carbon footprint and resource depletion. But I am curious how the energy input for their recycling compares to the energy saved versus mining. That ratio decides the net benefit.

Good point. The LCA data should help with Scope 3 reporting if buyers actually use it. The real test is whether procurement teams shift sourcing based on this kind of verified data or just file it.
