Transforming resources to power a more connected, sustainable world.
ABOUT ECOBAT
A leader in the collection, recycling, production, and distribution of resources essential to modern life.
From the batteries used in vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure to the backup power systems that support hospitals and data centers, the lead and polypropylene we recycle and produce are essential components in the technologies developed to meet our energy storage needs. With the rising adoption of electric vehicles and their reliance on lithium batteries, we are also continually expanding our lithium collection and recycling management services. It's part of our commitment to protecting the planet for all.
OUR BUSINESS
We play an essential role in the closed-loop supply chain through the recycling and production of lead used in energy storage solutions, the collection of end-of-life batteries, and the distribution of new batteries. We apply the same mindset and approach to lithium batteries, as we continue to develop and support this evolving technology with goals of reaching the same closed-loop recycling rates of lead.
