This new technology, provided by RLG, is designed to enhance safety and address the growing challenges faced by the recycling sector.

As the use of battery-powered devices continues to grow, the need for safe and convenient recycling options is also becoming increasingly important. Call2Recycle's extensive network of nearly 15,000 collection sites already offers a comprehensive range of safety solutions to reduce the risks of thermal incidents throughout the recycling process. The addition of the LiSa box, designed for shipping and storage of damaged, defective, or recalled lithium-ion batteries, will help further ensure safer collection and handling of these batteries.

The LiSa boxes will be introduced throughout 2025 in Call2Recycle's extensive collection network, and support industries using and collecting large volumes of lithium-ion batteries, offering a safe, scalable storage and transportation solution for end-of-life, damaged, defective or recalled lithium-ion batteries and electronics. RLG also offers a LiSa+ circular take-back service that provides battery and electronics collection on a timely basis and at the appropriate cadence for customer needs.
