Indonesia is broadening its electric vehicle (EV) strategy to include a robust battery recycling infrastructure. Currently focused on becoming a major EV battery producer, the nation now recognizes the importance of a closed-loop system to ensure sustainability and resource security. This expansion aims to manage the increasing volume of used EV batteries and recover valuable materials like lithium, nickel, and cobalt. The government is actively seeking investment and developing regulations to support the establishment of battery recycling facilities. This initiative is crucial for mitigating environmental concerns associated with battery disposal and reducing reliance on raw material imports. Ultimately, Indonesia intends to establish a comprehensive battery lifecycle management system, from production to recycling, to bolster its EV industry’s long-term viability and competitiveness.
