Industry
Success in Recycling Lead-acid Batteries
Lead-acid batteries are the
environmental success story of our time. More than 97 percent
of all battery lead is recycled. Compared to 55% of
aluminum soft drink and beer cans, 45% of newspapers, 26% of glass
bottles and 26% of tires, lead-acid batteries top the list of the most
highly recycled consumer product.
The lead-acid battery gains its
environmental edge from its closed-loop life cycle. The typical new
lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic.
When a spent battery is
collected, it is sent to a permitted recycler where, under strict
environmental regulations, the lead and plastic are reclaimed and sent to
a new battery manufacturer.
The recycling cycle goes on
indefinitely. That means the lead and plastic in the lead-acid battery in
your car, truck, boat or motorcycle have been - and will continue to be
-- recycled many, many times. (cont.)
