**Ipoh Perak, 23rd July 2025 –** Bateriku (M) Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia’s leading Connected Roadside Assistance and car battery ecosystem provider, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Econili Battery New Energy Sdn. Bhd., a licensed and technologically advanced recycler of lithium batteries and electronic waste. The MoU outlines a joint intention to facilitate the collection, treatment, and environmentally responsible processing of used lithium batteries and e-waste generated from Bateriku’s operations. By integrating Econili’s advanced recycling capabilities into Bateriku’s ecosystem, both companies aim to address the rising need for scalable solutions in battery waste management, while supporting Malaysia’s commitment to the circular economy and net-zero targets. ## Collaboration for Sustainability: A Circular Energy Ecosystem As Bateriku continues to serve over 1.5 million customers through its nationwide network of 220+ Pitstops and over 1,000 certified mobile technicians (BHero), the volume of spent lithium and lead-acid batteries it handles is substantial. This partnership with Econili ensures these batteries will no longer enter landfills or hazardous waste streams but will be: - Recycled: Recovered materials, such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, will be extracted and repurposed into new products and applications. - Refurbished: Batteries with remaining usable capacity may be repurposed by Econili for second-life use in energy storage or donated for social initiatives. - Responsibly Disposed: Unusable units will be treated with full regulatory compliance and sustainability assurance. > Azarol Faizi, Chief Executive Officer of Bateriku.com said, “We hope to become a dominant force in this space, as recycling is the last part of our ecosystem. After supplying more than 50,000 batteries a month and serving over 1.5 million customers. Briged Hijau is our commitment to Malaysia’s green future” ![BaterikuxEconili-2.webp](https://strapi.biru.my/uploads/Baterikux_Econili_2_359261f8f1.webp) ### Technology-Driven Recycling with ESG at Its Core Econili, headquartered in Ipoh, Perak, operates a fully licensed recycling facility capable of processing hazardous electronic waste such as lithium batteries (SW103), metal dross (SW104), and printed circuit boards (SW110), under strict environmental regulations. > “At Econili, we believe that innovation and sustainability go hand-in-hand,” said Mr Jayden Goh, Founder & CEO of Econili Battery New Energy Sdn. Bhd. “Bateriku’s strength as a domestic partner with extensive reach at Pitstops across Malaysia makes this a remarkable moment to do something impactful for our country. We hope this partnership continues for 10, 15 years or even more.” ![BaterikuxEconili-4.webp](https://strapi.biru.my/uploads/Baterikux_Econili_4_8dfd3fcec4.webp) The collaboration will also include coordinated logistics for battery and e-waste collection, data sharing on recycling outcomes, and quarterly progress reviews. Both parties have committed to exploring further innovation in areas such as second-life battery applications, localized materials recovery, and community recycling awareness. ### A Framework for Future Impact Both Bateriku and Econili envision a long-term collaboration that evolves into formal commercial arrangements. The MoU will remain in effect for two (2) years and serves as a framework for scaling recycling efforts in line with national sustainability mandates. This partnership supports Malaysia’s broader ambitions under the Green Technology Master Plan, National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),particularly around responsible consumption, climate action, and industry innovation.
