Our strategy
We’re working to eliminate lead poisoning from battery recycling by 2040.
Lead poisoning caused by unsafe recycling is a markets problem, not a technology problem. Here’s how we can solve it:
Action 1: Generate solutions-focused research
We’re gathering data and insights that will directly inform interventions to improve lead battery recycling safety.
Action 2: Evaluate & tier recyclers globally
We're building the first global approach and database – The Battery Index – to assess recyclers based on their health impacts.
Action 3: Increase transparency in supply chains
We’re helping the industry understand where & how lead moves to improve their sourcing practices.
Action 4: Structure & deploy financial incentives
We’re reshaping the market environment to make responsible recycling the more profitable option.
These actions lead to three outcomes that unlock a safer industry:
Safer recyclers become more competitive
Buyers have the information they need to source safely
Unsafe recycling is regulated & eventually eliminated
