The Association of Battery Recyclers (ABR) plays a pivotal role in the U.S. Lead battery recycling not only meets 70% of U.S. With over 160 million batteries recycled annually and a remarkable 99% recycling rate, ABR demonstrates how this industry is integral to sustainable economic practices.

ABR's adherence to rigorous environmental, health, and safety standards emphasizes the importance of safe and responsible recycling. The organization's efforts help recover essential minerals from end-of-life products, supporting a circular economy that minimizes waste and energy use. Moreover, ABR advocates for curbing unlawful exports of spent batteries, which threatens domestic supply security and undermines the investment potential in recycling infrastructure. Through their commitment to robust local operations and innovative practices, ABR secures the future of critical mineral sourcing and strengthens the foundation of American energy and manufacturing sectors.
