What is
BAPU
ENERGY IS CIRCULAR, AND WE RECYCLE IT
Lead-acid batteries are considered hazardous special waste. That’s why BAPU exists—a non-profit organization that coordinates, together with authorized waste managers, the logistics for the collection and recycling of used batteries in Ecuador, preventing improper disposal from harming the environment and human health. BAPU complies with the provisions of Ministerial Agreement 034, issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition.

Ecuador
Ecuador is a treasure trove of biodiversity, home to some of the planet’s richest hotspots and holding 20% of the world’s bird diversity. It also hosts iconic species such as the jaguar, spectacled bear, sloth, howler monkey, and puma. Avoiding harmful practices is crucial for protecting its unique ecosystems and all the beauty they contain.
