Battery and Universal Waste Recycling Conference

As the use of battery-powered consumer goods, industrial and commercial equipment and electric vehicles grows worldwide, the volume of discarded batteries continues to increase. Yet only a fraction of these batteries and other high-value components are collected and recycled properly.

At the same time, the generation of other forms of universal waste (UW), such as solar panels, lamps and small electronics, continues to expand, creating more challenges but also opportunities for responsible materials management and value recovery.

In a society where stored power and green energy play an increasingly vital role, it’s imperative to recycle batteries and other UW to harness their raw material value while also protecting the environment and safeguarding valuable assets.

The Battery and Universal Waste Recycling Conference serves as a platform for recyclers and generators of batteries, solar panels and other UW streams to navigate today’s ever-changing landscape.

Date: Tuesday, June 9
Session Title: Engaging Communities: Effective Battery Education Campaigns
Speaker: Nicole Sanders
