The company that manufactures Raylite batteries for Battery Centre - First National Battery - established a recycling facility in Benoni some years ago to help save the environment, prevent waste and to control the quality of lead being used. This facility includes a lead smelter, a battery breaker, effluent plant that treats the acid and scrubbers to control environmental emissions.
Particularly in recent years, a large number of batteries have been imported with no plan to recycle them when their life is over. As a responsible local manufacturer First National Battery actively looks for any scrap lead acid batteries (not just their own) to recycle - thus demonstrating their commitment to sound ecological management.
This dedication to recycling is built into the each step of the battery manufacturing, distribution and sales process, and the company complies with all the relevant regulations and is currently working towards the international ISO14001 environmental standards. |
