Lead-acid battery recycling continues to play a major role in helping keep our planet greener. Don’t take our word for it, though. Here are some quick facts from Battery Council International (link):

• More than 97 percent of all battery lead is recycled. Compared to 55% of aluminum soft drink and beer cans, 45% of newspapers, 26% of glass bottles and 26% of tires, lead-acid batteries top the list of the most highly recycled consumer product.
• The typical new lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic.
• The recycling cycle goes on indefinitely. That means the lead and plastic in the lead-acid battery in your car, truck, boat or motorcycle have been — and will continue to be — recycled many, many times.
