Federal Requirements for Battery Recycling
As battery stewardship regulations become more common in North America, Call2Recycle helps battery and product manufacturers fulfill recycling requirements in the U.S., including compliance with extensive state and federal regulations, such as the Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Act (The Battery Act). Call2Recycle works with these agencies to ensure safety and compliance are top priority.
In the U.S., federal law requires, with certain exceptions, used nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) and small sealed lead acid (Pb) batteries to be managed as Universal Waste (40 CFR Part 273). The Universal Waste Rule prohibits handlers (e.g., contractors) from disposing of waste Ni-Cd and Pb batteries and further indicates that these batteries must be sent for recycling.
