In this episode, we explore how batteries are recycled and transformed into valuable raw materials. From mechanical processing to advanced  techniques, we break down how metals are recovered and reused in new products. We also highlight the environmental benefits of battery recycling, including reducing the need for mining and cutting down on waste. If you’ve ever wondered what happens to batteries after they’re sorted, this episode explains the process in a clear and engaging way.

This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Process' from episode 27 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 30th January 2025.

While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.
