Call2Recycle, Canada’s premier battery collection and recycling organization, is proud to participate in Circular Economy Month through its Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program.
At the forefront of environmental responsibility, Call2Recycle is committed to reducing environmental impacts by promoting the recycling of batteries, a critical component of the circular economy. Throughout the month, we’ll be actively engaging with Canadians to highlight the importance of battery recycling in advancing a sustainable circular economy.
The circular economy embodies the very essence of responsible resource management. Batteries, in particular, are a compelling example of how recycling can contribute to this vision. Batteries house chemical and metal components that can be harmful if discarded in landfills. By recycling batteries correctly, we can transform these components into new products, like stainless-steel appliances, golf clubs, bicycles, and more, without the need for mining new materials. This process significantly reduces the environmental and social impacts associated with material extraction and battery disposal.
