According to ILA, 99% of lead batteries in Europe and the US are collected at the end of their life and recycled to produce lead needed for new batteries, creating a truly closed-loop circular economy. Ecobat’s closed-loop recycling system means we manage the recycling process from start to finish, from collection through recycling through production of metal alloys, recycled plastics and materials from sulfur and, finally, distribution and servicing of new batteries.  We accomplish this using  our extensive global network of collection, recycling and distribution facilities. This allows us to maximize the recyclability of and return from recycled batteries, increasing value to our customers and enabling greater sustainability.

Il processo inizia con la raccolta delle batterie per il riciclaggio e la loro consegna alle nostre strutture. Il materiale del nucleo di queste batterie viene quindi recuperato e raffinato per produrre leghe di piombo e piombo di altissima qualità, oltre l'80% delle quali viene restituito alla produzione di batterie. Mantenendo le batterie all'interno della nostra rete, riduciamo al minimo i requisiti logistici del trasporto delle batterie e riduciamo il nostro impatto ambientale.

Alongside our lead production and recycling operations, Ecobat also manages the reclamation of polypropylene used in the development of premium polymer solutions. For more than a decade, we’ve been developing PP-recyclate as a high-quality alternative to industry polymers.
