Each year, we recycle about 12 million spent batteries and have the ability to recover 134,000 tonnes of lead and 15,000 tonnes of polypropylene pellets to be reused in the manufacturing of new batteries. This contributes to the circular economy for industries including automotive, industrial and energy storage solutions.
