We purchase wasted lead acid batteries from scrap metal merchants, End of Life Vehicle (ELV) operators, battery retailers and waste contractors across the UK. All batteries pass through Clarity’s own network of hubs.
We work with a major international manufacturer to ensure the materials from your scrap lead acid batteries are sustainably recycled. Our manufacturer’s industry-leading technology recovers the lead from scrap batteries for use in new automotive batteries, giving this finite material a new lease of life.
Clarity is an approved exporter of lead acid batteries. We collect for recycling across the UK, offering you a safe, legal and convenient solution to scrap lead battery disposal. We work with a major international manufacturer to ensure the materials from your scrap lead acid batteries are sustainably recycled.
The lead-acid battery represents the oldest rechargeable battery technology. Lead-acid batteries are widely recyclable. Our unique recycling process ensures all the components of the batteries are recovered. Blancomet Group is dedicated to the sustainable management of NiMH batteries, ensuring their longevity and value.
There are no collection targets for lead-based automotive batteries specified in the EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC). However, they are considered one of the current success stories of the EU circular economy with a mature network of collection points for used batteries feeding strictly regulated secondary lead producers (recyclers).
The results of this analysis support the conclusion made in other studies that the collection and recycling rate of lead-based automotive batteries in the EU is extremely high and is essentially a closed loop with few batteries being lost through exports in used vehicles.
Lead-acid batteries rely primarily on lead and sulfuric acid to function and are one of the oldest batteries in existence. At its heart, the battery contains two types of plates: a lead dioxide (PbO2) plate, which serves as the positive plate, and a …
