And we’ll do so, in a manner that is the most optimum and efficient. Car batteries are filled with harmful and hazardous materials, and it requires special care to break them down for safe recycling. The challenges do not end with breaking the battery down. It is also very difficult to extract the resources and reuse them to make another battery. This would require considerable resources and technical knowledge to carry out the process.
The process for recycling a car battery
After we expertly handle the safe breakdown of the car battery, our expert staff will use the necessary equipment to complete the recycling process safely and efficiently. Not all the parts of a car battery are recyclable, and the typical range is between 60 to 80%, while the rest needs disposal using the proper machinery and care. The battery will be broken down into three separate parts: plastic, lead, and electrolytes. The parts that are recyclable will all be ground down, sorted, and processed for reuse in ways specific to the materials.
