New Delhi-based Attero, a recycler of obsolete electronics and lithium-ion batteries, has added Satya S. Tripathi as an independent member of its board of directors.
Referring to Tripathi as having a wealth of experience in sustainable development and innovative finance, Attero says his appointment marks a significant milestone in its journey toward facilitating a future free of virgin mining in critical minerals.
The company says Tripathi has 40 years of diversified experience, including as secretary general of the New York-based Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet and chancellor of the India-based Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, which Attero calls “the world’s largest academic institution dedicated exclusively to Indigenous people and cultures.”
Tripathi also serves on the Global Steering Group of the United Kingdom-based Global Ethical Finance Initiative, the Jury of Paris Peace Forum and is a trustee at London-based Water Unite, according to Attero. He also has served in several United Nations-related roles.
The company says Tripathi will help Attero continue to develop and implement recycling technologies designed to minimize the environmental impact of discarded electronics and lithium-ion batteries.
Part of his role also will be to “foster collaborations with international organizations and stakeholders to enhance Attero’s global impact and reach, expanding the company’s influence and operational footprint,” according to the company.
“We are thrilled to have Mr. Tripathi join us at Attero,” says Nitin Gupta, CEO and co-founder of Attero. “His vision for a sustainable planet aligns perfectly with Attero’s goal of minimizing environmental impact through innovative recycling solutions and promoting a circular economy.”
Gupta continues, “Mr. Tripathi will oversee the development of an enhanced sustainability framework for Attero, ensuring that all operations and initiatives are aligned with global best practices and environmental standards including Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). With his guidance, Attero is poised to scale new heights in environmental stewardship and circular economy initiatives.”
Attero was founded in 2008 and describes itself as a company that extracts metals including cobalt, nickel, lithium, graphite, copper, silver, gold, manganese and aluminum from discarded materials. The firm says it has a presence in six countries: India, Australia, Poland, Singapore, South Korea and the United States.
