We play an essential role in the closed-loop lead battery supply chain. Lead batteries provide essential energy storage for transportation, industry, hospitals, data centers, recreation, and many other elements we take for granted in modern life.  

A lead battery’s recyclability lies in its relative simplicity. It is essentially made up of 3 main components; lead, plastic, and acid, all of which are recycled or used in our recycling processes. 

Upon receipt at our facility, batteries are unloaded and crushed. Crushed batteries are agitated in a bath in which metal sinks and plastic floats, then the plastic is skimmed off, cleaned, and recovered for processing into new battery cases and other potential products.

Metals, mainly lead, are collected, drained and dried before smelting. Smelted metals are refined in our refineries into pure and alloyed lead before casting into ingots and blocks required by our customers to make new batteries.

Throughout our process, strict attention is paid to workers’ health and safety and prevention of toxic emissions in air, water and solid waste. Our state-of-the-art process controls and our experienced management ensure our best-in-industry performance and peace of mind for our customers and stakeholders.
