Battery Recycling
Your choice of Ecology Services battery recycling services is a healthy choice because it prevents soil contamination and protects all of our drinking water from poisoning by heavy metals and other toxic substances that instead reach the designated treatment sites.
You benefit from a perfect ecological solution for recycling batteries of all types that exist in industry and for home use.
Adapting the treatment to the type of battery
The process of recycling batteries by us is simple!
Each battery is treated according to the most stringent standards on the market, ensuring an efficient and environmentally friendly process.
Already from the initial phone call, we make sure what your exact needs are and tailor the most suitable and efficient recycling plan for you!
Here are some popular battery types in Israel, along with the unique way we handle each one!
Lead acid batteries are familiar to most of us from the batteries in our vehicles, however they are used for a number of other purposes such as: Forklifts, motorcycles and appliances with uninterrupted power supply technology.
These batteries are relatively easy to recycle.
When recycling these batteries, we carry out a process of battery grinding and acid neutralization, in order to use the energy contained in them for a variety of uses.
In the recycling process, we place special emphasis on the fact that lead acid is hermetically separated from the general waste, in order to protect the area from pollution and environmental damage.
Silver – zinc batteries, which are also known by their more popular name – button batteries, are widely used in wristwatches and in a variety of medical technological devices that utilize their tiny size for smart use.
Batteries of this type, which contain a certain amount of mercury, are recyclable.
Mercury, a metal that is known for its toxicity, is separated in the process of recycling the battery from the rest of the metals to create a safe reuse of this metal.
The process of recycling the batteries is carried out while constantly keeping the mercury vapors from leaking and causing a large – scale health hazard.
A lithium ion battery is a battery that is widely used in the laptop industry, as well as in the smartphone industry. This is because it is easily recharged and suitable for multiple use.
However, this battery contains a high number of polluting metals, some of which even become more ecologically dangerous when interacting with water.
Therefore, the recycling of these batteries will be carried out properly with an emphasis on a minimum degree of humidity in order to prevent material interaction, which will pose a risk to man and the environment.
Manganese zinc batteries are very popular batteries that are used to operate a variety of small electronic devices. This battery, also known as an alkaline battery, is usually found in most of our remote controls – and is therefore considered a battery that is consumed frequently.
The alkaline battery, made from a combination of manganese and zinc and therefore after prolonged use it leaks potassium hydroxide. This substance is very dangerous and has the potential to harm the health of the skin, eyes and can create breathing difficulties.
When we recycle alkaline batteries, we take care to transfer them in an insulated manner and at a suitable temperature to create as little damage to animals and plants as possible.
