Sustainability in
battery industry

Closed-loop industry

Lead battery manufacturing ensures a closed-loop industry, collecting and recycling, and reusing its components, which significantly reduces the demand for global resources.

The closed-loop process that ensures lead batteries’ high rate of recycling is recognized by the World Economic Forum and MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics as the world’s most successful example of a circular economy - featuring the design, production, transportation, recycling, and recovery of vehicle batteries.

Circularity

Battery Council International (BCI), Chicago, and Essential Energy Everyday have released a study showing lead batteries have a recycling rate of 99.3 percent, making them the No. 1 recycled consumer product in the U.S.

On average, a new lead battery is comprised of more than 80 percent recycled lead battery material. Every part of the battery, from lead and plastic to sulfuric acid, is recyclable and reusable in manufacturing new batteries. This reduces the need for new lead mining, reduces waste, and helps keep lead out of landfills.

The world needs energy delivered in an environmentally friendly, safe, and affordable manner, and the recycling rate the lead battery industry has achieved is evidence of commitment to that goal.

Green finance
supports sustainability

The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative:

is a global partnership established between the United Nations Environment Program and the financial sector.

Green financing is to increase level of financial flows (from banking, micro-credit, insurance and investment) from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to sustainable development priorities.

Growing international interest in green finance

The US, China and France are the three biggest issuers of green bonds. Presently, the European Central Bank holds around 20% of all euro-denominated green debt, even though it only started buying corporate bonds as recently as 2016, which indicates that the bank sees this as a way to further its own green agenda.

Managing environmental risks better:

A key part of this is to better manage environmental and social risks, take up opportunities that bring both a decent rate of return and environmental benefit and deliver greater accountability.

At its simplest, green finance is any structured financial activity – a product or service – that’s been created to ensure a better environmental outcome. It includes an array of loans, debt mechanisms and investments that are used to encourage the development of green projects or minimize the impact on the climate of more regular projects. Or a combination of both.

Typical projects that fall under the green finance umbrella include:

- Renewable energy and energy efficiency
- Pollution prevention and control
- Biodiversity conservation
- Circular economy initiatives
- Sustainable use of natural resources and land
