Every part of the battery, from lead and plastic to sulfuric acid, is recyclable and reusable in manufacturing new batteries. Recycle, it''s worth it! The price of scrap lead batteries is actually on a 3-year high and we would currently be paying £630 per tonne / 63p pkg. That makes the average battery worth around £5.00!
In terms of value, for every tonne of scrap batteries, ∼650 kg of lead is recovered. Polypropylene and sodium sulfate will add additional value but this has to be offset with the processing costs.
