Circular economy
By recovering critical minerals and metals from end-of-life batteries and scrap, RTM is designed to reduce battery waste and displace demand for newly extracted raw materials.
Sustainability & ESG
Circularity, decarbonization, and responsible operations
RTM's proposed model is built on a simple premise: valuable materials should stay in use. Our planned operations are designed around environmental responsibility, safety, and traceability from the outset.
Net Zero alignment
Recycled materials typically carry a lower embodied footprint than primary extraction. RTM aims to contribute to Indonesia's Net Zero and industrial decarbonization ambitions.
Traceability & compliance
Operations are planned around safe hazardous-waste (B3) handling and chain-of-custody traceability — supporting transparency across the material recovery lifecycle.
Circular economy positioning
Designed to keep critical minerals in circulation
As Indonesia scales electric mobility and energy storage, the volume of end-of-life batteries and production scrap will grow accordingly. RTM's proposed platform is positioned to capture that material and return it to the supply chain.
- Reduces battery waste sent to landfill or informal handling
- Recovers critical minerals for reuse in new batteries and industry
- Supports domestic value creation and supply-chain resilience
- Lowers dependence on primary raw material extraction
Compliance-driven operations
Safety and traceability by design
Battery recycling involves hazardous materials and demands rigorous controls. RTM's planned operations prioritise regulatory alignment and accountability at every stage.
Hazardous-waste (B3) handling
Planned around Indonesia's B3 (Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun) hazardous-materials framework — with safe intake, storage, discharge, and processing procedures for spent batteries.
Chain-of-custody
Traceability from intake through recovery is intended to document material flow, supporting transparency, reporting, and confidence for supply-chain partners.
Note: Specific permits, certifications, and regulatory approvals will be pursued as part of RTM's development and are subject to feasibility, permitting, and final investment decisions.
