Good for the environment
B-cycling keeps batteries out of landfill, so less toxic materials end up in our ecosystem. Reusing the materials in every battery means that we need to mine less from the earth, and can conserve our natural resources.
Good for Australia
Nearly all of the materials in batteries can be reused. Giving new life to finite natural materials like lithium, cobalt and manganese means we can safeguard Australia’s resource and energy security, and have enough for future generations.
Good for you
Getting used batteries out of your home means you protect your family and the environment from toxic materials. We make sure every battery you drop off gets B-cycled safely.
Climate action is at the heart of B‑cycling
As demand for battery materials is set to increase to 500% by 2050, recycling is essential to support the transition to renewables and avoid future resource shortages.
Battery recycling delivers strong environmental benefits, recovering high-purity materials can reduce emissions by around 50% compared to using newly mined resources, while supporting a more sustainable circular economy.
