Sustainability & Stewardship

Batteries play a vital role in a sustainable future, with responsible manufacturing, recycling, and material management at the core of the industry. Learn how lifecycle assessment and material stewardship initiatives support environmental responsibility and a circular economy.

Lifecycle AssessmentsLead batteries and lithium-iron phosphate batteries each have advantages. But they have different lifecycle sustainability profiles, especially during manufacturing. See how they compare.
Material StewardshipThe U.S. lead battery industry is part of a global effort to increase responsible battery production and recycling. The industry is committed to working with others to end informal battery recycling in low and middle income countries where the practice exists.

BCI has long supported industry driven innovation. Their efforts to bring together multiple organizations to drive fundamental research in a precompetitive manner has helped put us on the radar as both an industry and as individual companies.
