This year, VALORCAR has distributed 193 new containers suitable for battery waste storage throughout 58 VALORCAR NETWORK centers and 1 recycler , continuing an initiative started in 2016.
Electrolyte leakage is the biggest environmental risk associated with the management of battery waste. Electrolyte is usually a sulfuric acid solution and for this reason it is very important that the batteries are properly packaged in leak-proof containers. To minimize this risk and raise awareness among the various players in the battery waste collection chain (distributors, workshops, transporters, collection centers, etc.) VALORCAR has already distributed a total of 1560 new leak-proof containers to VALORCAR NETWORK centers.
