Call2Recycle, Canada’s leading battery collection and recycling program, today announced the launch of its innovative smart battery recycling container under its new consumer brand, Recycle Your Batteries, Canada!. As the first to bring this cutting-edge ‘smart’ solution to North America, Call2Recycle is leading the charge in redefining the battery recycling experience for Canadians.
The new smart battery recycling containers were developed by Call2Recycle in consultation with leading global recycling organizations. The new devices merge innovation and sustainability to minimize risk and significantly enhance program safety, operational efficiency, and collection site convenience. The vivid new Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! logo and graphics are employed to improve public education and battery recycling awareness, which will ultimately lead to an increase in critical metals recovered from these batteries contributing to Canada’s circular economy.
The smart containers surpass the capabilities of traditional battery recycling containers, marking a significant advancement in safety and environmental impact throughout the battery collection process. By integrating advanced technology to create an intelligent system, the containers elevate battery safety through remote monitoring capabilities. This feature alerts collection sites to any increases in temperature, mitigating the risk of a thermal event.
Sensors in the containers remotely monitor the fill level and notify program managers when a pick-up is required. This makes transport and the support of collection sites seamless and efficient. Designed with a focus on reusability, these containers reduce the need for the manufacturing, shipping, recycling, and disposing of individual boxes and materials, significantly reducing waste and the program’s overall environmental footprint.
The new smart battery recycling containers will be strategically placed in public locations throughout Canada starting in February, providing greater accessibility for individuals to collect, protect, and drop off their household batteries responsibly and safely. With the prominent inclusion of the “Recycle Your Batteries, Canada!” brand, vibrant design, and a distinctive QR code, Canadians will gain access to safety and program information, creating a more interactive and engaging recycling experience.
