Battery Recycling

At Battery Business, we are committed to environmental sustainability through our comprehensive Battery Recycling Program. Each week, we process several tonnes of used batteries, ensuring they are disposed of responsibly and efficiently.

Our Recycling Process

  1. Collection: Used batteries are gathered at our Warriewood head office, accumulating approximately 3.5 tonnes weekly.

  2. Testing and Reconditioning: We assess each battery's condition, reconditioning those that are salvageable to extend their lifespan and reduce waste.

  3. Safe Disposal: Batteries beyond repair are handed over to an EPA-licensed operator, adhering to strict environmental guidelines. These batteries are then transported to an EPA-licensed recycling facility for processing.

Lead-Acid Battery Recycling

Lead-acid batteries undergo a meticulous recycling procedure:

  • Crushing and Separation: Batteries are broken down, separating lead components from plastic and acid.

  • Lead Recovery: Lead, which is 99.98% recyclable, is extracted and refined into lead paste and hard lead metals. Remarkably, 90% of this reclaimed lead is utilized in manufacturing new car and truck batteries.

  • Acid Neutralization: The battery acid is neutralized and repurposed, ensuring no harmful substances are released into the environment.

  • Plastic Recycling: Battery casings and other plastic components are processed and recycled for future use.

By participating in our recycling program, you contribute to a circular economy where materials are reused, reducing the need for new raw resources. It's likely that the lead in your current battery has powered vehicles before, showcasing the effectiveness of our recycling efforts.
