Did you know that lead batteries, like the one that starts your car, are the most recycled consumer product on the planet? According to Battery Council International, lead car batteries have a near perfect recycling rate of 99.3 percent! That’s because nearly every component of a lead battery can be reused and recycled, including the lead, plastic, and sulfuric acid. In fact, lead batteries have been recognized as the world’s most successful example of recycling by the World Economic Forum and MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics.
