Advanced Battery Technology, Sep 2005

Rechargeable battery recycling is up 9% for the first half of the year, the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp. said July 14.

The group reports that it collected 2.3 million pounds of rechargeable batteries in the United States and Canada through its recovery program during the first six months of 2005, a 9% increase over the corresponding period last year. The program features more than 30,000 collection locations at which consumers can drop off used rechargeable batteries and cell phones.

Some 300 manufacturers and marketers of portable rechargeable batteries and products fund the nonprofit Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp.
