Collection: Zero Waste Alkaline Batteries

Our batteries are certified carbon neutral and are delivered to your door. The box is designed to keep the batteries organized, and comes equipped with 22-AA, 22-AAA and 2-9Vs to keep you fully charged for many months. And, when your batteries are used, send them back to us and we’ll recycle them for you, for free!

You’re welcome, friend.

Why we love it: Better Battery Co. has created the world’s first carbon neutral battery with a built-in recycling program! 

Better means they have considered the full life cycle of your batteries from start to finish. Many of us make the effort to recycle paper, drive electric cars, and save water. Why, then, are we so willing to throw away used batteries?

We wanted a Better Battery. When we couldn't find it, Better Battery.co made it! 

It is more sustainable and up to 90% more efficient to recycle zinc, manganese, potassium and steel than it is to mine and produce these materials from ore.

The Recycling Process

How much of a battery can be recycled? Our fully sustainable process for recycling batteries and packaging can recycle every single component and offset the carbon footprint associated with every step of the batteries' lifecycle. This includes the production, shipping, and recycling processes. We ensure maximum recycling of batteries, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

How we achieved this:

1. All of our batteries are Alkaline batteries, which helps us ensure that the battery sorting is accurate when it’s sent to Raw Materials Co. our partner battery recycling plant.
2. Our packaging is fully recyclable. The paper and plastic used to ship your batteries is also recycled after the batteries reach Raw Materials Co's facilities.
3. We run a calculation called the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). We partner with CarbonFund.org to ensure we can offset every last bit of carbon emitted during the production, shipping and recycling of our batteries.

Batteries are recycled for new, better uses

The batteries are broken down at the recycling facility and the individual components are carefully extracted for new uses.

• Zinc, manganese and potassium are all natural earth elements and are necessary for life. Each of these elements plays a key role in promoting healthy plant growth and is found naturally in the soil and used in commercial fertilizers. 100% of the zinc, manganese and potassium is recovered and used as a premium micro-nutrient to grow corn - an originally intended application. The use of RMC micro-nutrients increases corn yields by 20 bushels per acre; which is an important commodity and food source for our planets growing population.
• The paper and plastic from the battery that is unable to be recycled is sent to an Energy from Waste (EFW) facility and converted into electricity. The electricity produced from that paper and plastic offsets 80% of the electricity Raw Materials Company uses for its recycling process.
• Approximately 25% of an alkaline battery is made up of steel and nickel. Through our mechanical process, 100% of the steel and nickel is recovered and sold back into the local market as a premium product in the production of new metals.
