Becoming Industry Stewards
Every year, the portable rechargeable power industry produces millions of rechargeable battery packs to power products like cordless power tools, cell phones, cordless phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, two-way radios, camcorders, and remote control toys. But when those long-life batteries die, they need to be recycled.
Call2Recycle®, a program of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), offers an easy solution to battery manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers. When you pay a fee to place the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-approved RBRC Battery Recycling Seals on your battery packs, you become an RBRC licensee and the Call2Recycle program recycles the batteries for you—keeping them out of landfills, and promoting a safer, cleaner environment for everyone. And, our recycling program meets all federal and state laws, including the Battery Act, for recycling Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion), and Small Sealed Lead Acid (Pb) rechargeable batteries*. *weighing up to 11lbs/5kg per battery
Retailers, businesses, communities and public agencies collect the used battery packs and ship
 them to Call2Recycle’s recycling facility where the recovered materials can be used to make new products, such as new rechargeable batteries and stainless steel products.
