USA: Call2Recycle became The Battery Network
Call2Recycle has reintroduced itself as The Battery Network, signaling its evolution from a collection program into a nationwide system powering the circular energy economy.
As underlined by the organization, the new name reflects its expanded mission to connect every part of the battery lifecycle – enabling safe recycling, efficient logistics, and recovery of critical materials “that strengthen America’s energy independence while protecting people and the planet”.
The Battery Network not only collects and recycles millions of pounds of batteries through more than 20,000 collection sites across the USA, but also serves as a compliance and logistics partner for manufacturers and retailers navigating increasingly complex regulatory landscapes, with battery recycling legislation accelerating state by state.
“Its proven infrastructure and expertise help partners meet Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements while ensuring safe handling, transport and recovery of valuable materials like lithium, cobalt and nickel,” the information said.
