Lead batteries have the highest recycling rate of any consumer product – an incredible 99 percent. Element Resources is proud of our part in keeping 130 million spent lead batteries from entering landfills every year. On average, new lead batteries contain approximately 80 percent recycled materials obtained from battery recyclers, such as the Element Resources recycling operation.
