As part of the campaign aimed at preventing the rapid pollution of natural resources as a result of the free circulation of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium and lead due to the indiscriminate disposal of waste batteries, 435,6 tons of waste batteries have been collected so far. After the collected waste batteries are separated according to their types in the recycling facilities and entered into the crushing process, the metal-steel parts inside are sorted and sent to the iron-steel industry.
