Lead Batteries #1 Recycled Product

Read The Study

Lead batteries are the model of a circular economy. A new study reveals that with their 99% recycling rate, on average, 129 million lead batteries are recycled every year and kept from landfills. The study found that over the past five years, more than 13.5 billion pounds of lead batteries were recycled to manufacture new batteries. Lead batteries are infinitely recyclable and provide more than 70% of the world’s rechargeable energy storage, are found in 275 million U.S. vehicles and support a $1 trillion communications infrastructure.
