Although Oklahoma point-of-sale notices do not require specific language, notices must be posted at or near the point of display or sale to inform the public that lead-acid batteries are accepted for recycling. The Oklahoma point-of-sale notices must be posted by September 1, 1993, and printed by battery retailers. For purposes of this law a “lead-acid battery” means a lead-acid electrical device used in boats, planes and motor vehicles.
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.
