BATTERIES - Car
We have a comprehensive and extensive Battery Recycling system in Australia with 98 % of car batteries being recycled. Car Batteries contain lead and as well as sulphuric acid. Keeping these toxic chemicals out of the environment is essential. The lead and plastics recycled from the batteries are often used to manufacture new batteries and the sulphuric acid can be used to make detergent. Significant energy savings are made by recycling these products. for more info http://www.batteryrecycling.org.au/recycling/automotive-batteries
