Create a Sustainable Future by Recycling Battery Scrap

Rising battery use fuels a surge in toxic waste. Unchecked, this flood threatens to overwhelm landfills and poison our planet. But there's hope. By recycling spent batteries, we can safeguard our world and reap multiple rewards. This simple act protects ecosystems, conserves resources, and creates a cleaner future for all. Every battery recycled is a step towards sustainability and a healthier Earth.

  • Pollution Prevention: Batteries harbour toxic substances as we all know, and they can lead to soil and water contamination if not recycled.
  • Resource and Energy Conservation: Reclaiming metals from spent batteries curbs demand for virgin materials. This process also consumes significantly less energy than extracting metals from ore, making battery recycling doubly beneficial for resource conservation and energy efficiency.
  • Development of Circular Economy: Metals from recycled batteries fuel a circular economy, minimizing waste and environmental impact. This sustainable loop allows endless reuse, shrinking our ecological footprint with each cycle.
  • Reduced Strain on Landfills: By sending less to landfills and more to recycling facilities, you can reduce the burden on the country’s waste management systems.

Recycle your old batteries to help build such a sustainable future. We can assist you effectively, whether a household with only one scrap box or an industry with multiple scrap bins.

We will guide you which batteries are recyclable and which are not.

First, disconnect the battery from the device safely and inspect the battery for any signs of damage. If it’s broken or leaking, it should be handled with even more caution. Place the batter in a sealed plastic bag or container and bring it to our facility.

Note: Consider taping over the terminals with non-conductive tape for lithium-ion and other rechargeable batteries. It will prevent accidental short circuits during transport.
