MiniMines Cleantech Solutions

MiniMines is a pioneering clean-tech startup tackling climate change through innovative waste reduction and resource recovery solutions. Their focus lies on used battery recycling, a critical challenge considering the environmental hazards of discarded batteries and the destructive sourcing of raw materials for new ones.

During incubation at IITG TIC, MiniMines developed a safe and advanced Li-ion battery recycling process. This technology extracts valuable materials from used batteries, promoting a circular economy and reducing reliance on virgin resources. IITG TIC provided crucial support through mentorship, research facilities, access to events, and even financial and strategic backing from Oil India Limited.

MiniMines' early success is evident in securing clients while still being incubated. Their commitment to responsible e-waste disposal has diverted significant amounts of used batteries from landfills, minimizing environmental impact. Looking forward, MiniMines aspires to become a cleantech leader, achieving 100% regenerative solutions by 2050. They empower everyone to participate in a sustainable future by offering services to individuals, communities, businesses, and companies across the battery lifecycle.
