Recycling of accumulators
Disposal of accumulator batteries is performed in order to reduce the quantity of toxic substances in domestic solid waste. Accumulators contain heavy metals, acids and alkalies which bring considerable environmental damage when they enter water or soil.
Novorec Recycling Solutions is involved in recycling of lead-acid batteries which are used in motor vehicles, electric cars, motorcycles, uninterruptible power supplies as well as in various industrial equipment.
Lead is a toxic metal which should be avoided to be contacted in everyday life. Acids, namely sulfuric acid which is most commonly used in manufacturing of accumulators, are also quite dangerous.
Used accumulators can be harmful to both people and the environment. Therefore recycling of used accumulators is an important and environmentally beneficial process.
