In the engineered world of the future, mobile electronic devices become more and more evident in our every day live. All experts agree that additionally the successful conversion of our mobility and transportation sector from primary fuels to green electricity will base on a dramatic increasing consumption of raw materials for batteries. Hence, battery recycling is a necessary contribution to preserve our natural resources.

Competent and dedicated battery recycling companies have installed sufficient treatment capacities to provide these services today and in future. Following european statistics, these companies (www.ebra-recycling.org) have tripled the volume of recycled batteries to appr. 35.000 tons since 2000. A further increase due to legislative changes is predicted to nearly 50.000 tons of collected, discarded batteries in 2012.
