India-US Cooperation on Critical Mineral Recycling

India-US Cooperation on Critical Mineral Recycling

India and the US are working together to recycle critical minerals from e-waste.

This is important because these minerals are needed for things like electric vehicles, defense technology, and data centers.

China controls a lot of these minerals, so this partnership helps reduce dependence on China.

India produces a lot of e-waste, and the US has advanced recycling technologies.

Together, they can create a more secure and sustainable supply chain.

The next steps include launching pilot projects, creating dedicated initiatives, and including more countries in future phases.
