Whilst Close the Loop is well known for its environmental takeback programs, batteries are a very specialist stream. Close the Loop provides its reverse logistics capability and Customer Service infrastructure to deliver a national batteries collection program. Let’s keep batteries out of landfill and encourage everyone to recycle batteries.
Close the Loop is partnering with Envirostream to develop a safe and innovative battery collection and recycling solution in Australia.
Envirostream have a recovery rate of in excess of 95% and all batteries are recycled in Australia. No batteries are sent offshore for processing. This is a key deliverable of the program, and fundamental to why Close the Loop is partnering with Envirostream.
Batteries contain harmful substances including mercury, cadmium and lead. These chemicals and materials can be dangerous if mixed with other waste streams and cause damage to the environment if placed in landfill.
