Discover the facilities that power North America’s battery infrastructure. The BCI Interactive Member Map highlights the network of manufacturers, recyclers, and suppliers that form the backbone of North America’s energy storage manufacturing and recycling capabilities.
Batteries support a vast array of applications, from small-scale power storage and transportation to industrial operations and large grid-scale power systems. They are essential in powering everything from golf carts to microgrids, driving efficiency, innovation, and sustainability across industries.
BCI’s National Recycling Rate Study confirms that the U.S. lead battery industry continues its outstanding recycling rate of 99% — the highest of any consumer product in the U.S. Lead batteries are the gold standard in how to create a highly successful, closed-loop, domestic circular economy.
With improved cooperation among stakeholders, increased research funding, and by following the circular economy example of lead batteries, the U.S. can regain domestic supply chain security and advance a low-carbon and renewable energy future.
