Empowering Sustainable Solutions: Responsible Disposal of Lead Acid Batteries

In a time where discussions about the environment take center stage globally, the proper disposal of lead acid batteries has emerged as a critical concern. These batteries, frequently utilized in various automotive applications, present a substantial environmental threat when not managed with care.

The Environmental Impact of Lead Acid Batteries:

Lead acid batteries contain hazardous materials, including lead, plastic, and sulfuric acid. These components can have detrimental effects on the environment, leading to soil and water contamination, air pollution, and harm to wildlife. Go Green Electronic Recycling plays a pivotal role in facilitating the responsible disposal of these batteries.

Go Green Electronic Recycling collaborates with specialized recycling facilities that adhere to stringent environmental standards. Through this collaboration, we facilitate the recycling of lead acid batteries in an environmentally friendly manner, extracting valuable materials such as lead and plastic for reuse.

Recycling Process

• Batteries are collected
• Scrap batteries are securely transported to the smelter
• Batteries are processed through a battery breaker, separating lead, plastic and acid components
• The extracted acid undergoes neutralization and processing, adhering to environmental regulations before proper disposal
• The plastic components are washed and converted into pellets, ready for reuse in the manufacturing of new battery containers and covers
• Battery plates, terminals, and other lead pieces are systematically stockpiled for refining, ultimately blending with other materials to produce lead alloys for the creation of new batteries.
• Any elements of the scrap batteries that cannot be reclaimed are disposed of in a compressed cake form in a Class 1 dump
