Environmental Impact Of Battery Production And Disposal

First, let''s explore the lead-acid battery. This battery is recycled globally. Studies also reveal a 99.3% battery recycling rate 7. The best part is that every battery component is recyclable and reusable. That is, parts like lead, plastic, and sulfuric acid can play roles in producing new batteries. In terms of sustainability, this is a win.
