Sustainability in Action
A Model for Lasting Change
Lead batteries are widely recognized as one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly battery technologies available today. The circular infrastructure of lead batteries is one of the primary reasons for this. Unlike other types of batteries, lead batteries are highly recyclable, and nearly all components of the battery can be reused in the manufacturing of new batteries.
Furthermore, lead batteries have a low carbon footprint, as the manufacturing process for lead batteries requires less energy than other battery types.

RECYCLING PROCESS
Our FIVE-Step Battery Recycling Process
Lead battery recycling is important for sustainability, and the process involves specialized equipment and expertise to be performed safely and efficiently.
Collection
Used lead batteries are collected from various sources.
Breaking and Sorting
Batteries are broken apart, separating lead from plastic and other materials.
Refining
The lead is refined to remove impurities, and cast into ingots.
Recycling
Plastic casings are processed into pellets, while the acid is neutralized and treated to remove impurities.
Environmental Compliance
Strict environmental regulations are followed throughout the process to ensure safe handling.
