Battery recycling refers to the process of recycling and using the materials that make up the battery, i.e. removing metals from the battery and then reusing them to produce new batteries, returning the metals to the natural and economic cycle. The ultimate goal of recycling is to save energy and raw materials and reduce the volume of waste.

The value of the materials contained in the battery, if properly processed, is extremely favorable for environmental protection.

How do I know my battery needs to be recycled?

On a daily basis we use battery-powered equipment or devices and then use cars or other battery-powered vehicles to move around the city.

In the event that you realize that your device or vehicle is malfunctioning, you can proceed to a store, where a diagnostic check of the battery will clarify if a battery replacement or service is needed.

How does the battery recycling process work?

At the beginning of recycling, used batteries are collected from disposal points and taken to a recycling center, where the lead is separated from the polypropylene (plastic casing) and sent to a furnace for melting.

It is then reused to make new batteries. Also, polypropylene is washed and recycled. The acid is treated and neutralized. New car batteries are typically made from up to 80% recycled materials.
