Spotlight - Battery Recycling: Utilizing Patented Process for Responsible and Effective Metal Yields

Batteries contain a number of heavy metals and toxic chemicals, and disposing of them by the same process as regular rubbish has raised concerns over soil contamination and water pollution. In Europe specifically, battery recycling is growing in importance with lead and cadmium-based batteries posing the most concerns. In fact, nickel-cadmium batteries was banned in Europe in 2009. And, for the first time, lithium-ion has been added to the list of pollutants.

Battery recycling features hydrometallurgy, an energy-efficient patented process that includes leaching, purification and separation of different metals.

Spotlight - Certification

Our partners have international best-practice certifications, including R2 (Responsible Recycling), ADISA, e-Stewards, ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 28000, OHSAS 18001, and TAPA.
