Why Compliance Matters at RelithQ
In lithium-ion battery recycling, compliance is not optional—it is fundamental to safety, sustainability, and long-term value creation. Improper handling of batteries can result in environmental damage, safety incidents, regulatory penalties, and reputational risk. At RelithQ, compliance is treated as a core operating principle, not a box-ticking exercise.
Protecting People and the Environment
Lithium-ion batteries carry inherent risks related to fire, thermal runaway, and hazardous materials. RelithQ’s compliance-driven processes ensure batteries are handled, stored, and processed safely, protecting employees, communities, and the environment. Strict adherence to environmental and hazardous waste norms minimizes pollution, emissions, and improper disposal.
Enabling Responsible Global Supply Chains
OEMs, manufacturers, and refiners increasingly require recycled materials that are traceable, auditable, and compliant with national and international regulations. RelithQ’s compliance framework ensures that recovered materials can confidently enter global supply chains without regulatory or reputational risk.
Reducing Partner and Investor Risk
Compliance failures can disrupt operations, invalidate contracts, and impact long-term returns. By embedding regulatory alignment, documentation, and audit readiness into daily operations, RelithQ reduces operational, legal, and reputational risk for its partners and investors.
Meeting Evolving Regulatory Expectations
Battery recycling regulations are evolving rapidly across jurisdictions. RelithQ proactively aligns its systems with current and emerging frameworks, including Indian regulations, EU Battery Regulation requirements, and OECD due-diligence principles. This forward-looking approach ensures long-term operational resilience.
Building Trust Through Transparency
RelithQ maintains clear documentation, traceable material flows, and transparent reporting to support audits, ESG disclosures, and regulatory reviews. Transparency strengthens trust with regulators, OEMs, and investors while reinforcing accountability at every level of the organization.
Our Commitment
We believe that strong compliance is not a cost—it is a competitive advantage that enables sustainable growth, trusted partnerships, and long-term success.
