At present, lead-acid batteries are used in practically all vehicles.
How is the battery recycled?
» The acid of the battery is recycled by neutralizing it in water or by converting it into sodium-sulphate or powdered detergent, or by using it in glass and textile production.
» The plastic is recycled by cleaning up the battery container, melting it down and transforming it into plastic pellets which will be used once again for manufacturing batteries.
» The lead, which accounts for 50% of each battery, is melted down into bars and refined. The lead retains all its characteristics after having been refined and can be used for the production of new batteries.
