At Ecobat, we provide an essential service and value proposition to the world. We incorporate a business model that focuses on recycling in a circular environment. We strive to deliver products in a timely fashion that are designed for longevity and extended product use with exceptional quality and service.

Executing our circular sustainability strategy is essential to our company, partners, and customers. By recharging resources responsibly, our business model aims to ensure that our customers receive high-quality, recycled products that support their economic, sustainability, and customer goals.

In 2023, we continued to rebound from macroeconomic headwinds of energy, inflation, and workforce pressures through focused enterprise risk management. We achieved an all-time lead production record internally. Restarted Italian operations focusing on a profitable business model and successfully divested Stolberg and South African operations to strengthen core business offerings and activities.

Ecobat’s focus on health extends from our fiscal responsibility to our dedication to our employees’ health, safety, and well-being. In 2023, we outperformed our 12-month rolling average blood lead improvement goals of 10% for the organization. Additionally, we recorded a 10% year-over-year improvement in employee engagement scores through the National Business Research Institute for our organization.

Since formalizing our sustainability programs in 2022, we have established goals that align with international standards and deployed business practices that support our commitment to striving towards exceptional lead, polypropylene, and lithium-ion battery transportation, collection, recycling, and distribution services. Our efforts were internationally recognized with the EcoVadis Gold Sustainability rating award, placing Ecobat in the top 5% of all participating companies.

We are proud of our story. We are proud to support a low-carbon future. We are proud of our continued effort to sustainability. No other material has a more efficient and prolific recycling story than lead. It is the premier standard of recycling demonstrated by our ability to take a waste product, recycle 99% of its components, and place these valuable commodities back into the supply chain for use.

We look for Ecobat to maintain our focus on providing a superior product and look to continue our successes throughout 2024 and beyond.
