About us

We are a non-profit organization that coordinates the logistics for the collection and recycling of used lead-acid batteries nationwide, working with waste managers approved by MAAATE. Our primary purpose is to protect our soil, water, and the health of our communities. We establish agreements with all stakeholders in the battery life cycle, as we believe everyone shares the responsibility for ensuring batteries are properly recycled in compliance with the goals and regulations set by the authorities.

Circular Energy

Did you know that the materials in your car battery are among the most recycled in the world—even more than paper, glass, and cardboard? When we recycle a battery, we not only prevent environmental pollution but also avoid the extraction of virgin raw materials, a process that significantly impacts our natural capital.

We are inspired by the constant transformation of energy, embracing a circular approach.
