Choose GlobalTech for how to Dispose of Lithium Batteries.
Lithium batteries are often found in the small electronics that are popular these days: electric toothbrushes, laptops and cell phones, for example. While these batteries are small to match the hand-held nature of the devices in question, there is another sector of this industry that is also growing exponentially. That is the use of much larger lithium batteries in electric cars. These rechargeable batteries are also increasingly popular in industries such as aerospace and the military.

How to Dispose of Lithium Batteries
Due to the popularity of the devices that are powered by these batteries, knowing how to dispose of them properly and safely is the key to ensuring that they stay out of the country's growing landfills. One of the most earth-friendly and cost-effective methods of doing so involves reusing these batteries.
Reusing Lithium Batteries
Before the reuse process can be pursued, each battery is carefully tested to ensure that it meets the standards of the industry. Each battery is thoroughly tested in a variety of methods including visually and mechanically. In addition, diagnostic testing is often performed in order to provide a general guideline in terms of usage.
Recycling Lithium Batteries
Reusing lithium batteries is the preferred method of disposing of them. GlobalTech Environmental strives to provide our customers with options that meet their needs. In some cases, a company might indicate that they want their lithium batteries to undergo the reclamation process. This specialized method of recycling and disposing of lithium batteries involves removing specific materials from the battery.
GlobalTech Environmental partners with premier refineries around the world. Though the reuse option is preferred, we are happy to offer our customers the option to undergo the reclamation process. It provides less value to our customers than the reuse process and can also have negative environmental impacts. However, we are committed to a 100% landfill free policy so we provide this service.
Extracting the usable materials from lithium batteries -- namely the lithium -- is a crucial element in being able to meet the increased demand for the material as projected. Currently, nearly 70% of the world's lithium deposits are found in the South American countries of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. Due to the potential for unrest in the area as well as the logistics of being able to get the element to the factories where it's needed, the reclamation process offers a sustainable alternative.
How GlobalTech Environmental Can Help
GlobalTech Environmental is dedicated to providing ways to help companies offset the costs associated with the reclamation process by obtaining the highest possible prices for the materials that are able to be reclaimed from them. Contact us today to learn more about our recommended process for storing, packaging and shipping lithium batteries. By partnering with us, you'll help reduce the waste that's associated with the disposal of lithium batteries in landfills.
