PT Recycle Technology Materials is a proposed battery recycling and critical minerals recovery company, developed to support Indonesia's growing electric vehicle and battery supply chain.
PT Recycle Technology Materials (RTM) is a proposed Indonesian company established to collect, process, and recover valuable materials from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery production scrap. Materials are anticipated to be sourced from across the battery ecosystem — electric vehicles, battery manufacturing, fleets, battery-swap networks, and energy storage systems.
Rather than treating spent batteries as waste, RTM is being designed to return their critical minerals and metals to the manufacturing supply chain — reducing reliance on primary raw material extraction and strengthening domestic value creation.
Planned facility site — Subang, West Java
Within West Java's developing automotive and battery corridor, close to Indonesia's emerging EV manufacturing base.
To become one of Indonesia's leading battery recycling and critical minerals recovery players — supporting the country's transition to electric mobility, industrial decarbonization, and reduced dependence on primary raw material extraction.
To safely collect and process used batteries and production scrap, recover valuable materials, reduce battery waste, and contribute to Indonesia's Net Zero and circular economy ambitions.
RTM is planned to develop in phases, establishing safe and reliable mechanical recycling before scaling into advanced refining.
Receiving, safe discharge, dismantling, shredding, and separation — producing black mass alongside recovered copper, aluminium, steel, and plastics.
Adding chemical refining capability to recover battery-grade nickel, cobalt, lithium, and manganese from black mass — moving further up the value chain.
Explore how RTM's planned mechanical recycling value chain is designed to recover materials safely and responsibly.
