Recycling lead-acid batteries offers significant benefits for businesses by reducing environmental impact, cutting costs, and generating revenue from recycled materials. These batteries contain hazardous substances like lead and sulfuric acid, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate soil and water sources.
By recycling, businesses minimise the risks of environmental pollution and comply with environmental regulations. Our service not only supports sustainability goals but also provides a cost-effective way to manage waste.
Most traditional car batteries are lead-acid batteries. These are the standard in petrol and diesel vehicles because they are reliable, inexpensive, and provide a strong initial burst of energy needed to start the engine. These batteries are heavy but well-suited for short bursts of high power, which is ideal for starting a car.
However, lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles because they are lighter, have a higher energy density, and can store more energy for longer ranges.
Yes, lead-acid batteries are highly recyclable. Nearly all components of lead-acid batteries can be repurposed: the lead can be melted down and reused in new batteries, the plastic casings can be recycled, and even the sulfuric acid can be neutralised or converted for industrial use.
