Ontario, Canada is set to take a major leap forward in its battery recycling capabilities thanks to a new partnership between Call2Recycle Canada and Electronic Distributors International Inc (EDI). This collaboration will see the implementation of a state-of-the-art battery sorting technology that will significantly increase the region’s capacity to sort and recycle end-of-life batteries.
The investment made by Call2Recycle Canada aligns with its goal of enhancing battery recycling infrastructure, improving efficiency, ensuring safety, and supporting waste diversion initiatives in the region. The cutting-edge battery sorting equipment is located at EDI’s facility in Orillia, Ontario, and is one of only four of its kind in the world. This new equipment will double the plant’s capability to sort used batteries effectively.
Norm Yorke, Managing Partner at EDI, expressed his commitment to modernizing the recycling industry and investing in sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of their partners. He highlighted the importance of pioneering technology-driven battery sorting in North America to promote responsible recycling practices. Joe Zenobio, President of Call2Recycle Canada, commended EDI for its innovative approach to driving positive change in the recycling sector and emphasized the significance of collaborations with forward-thinking organizations.
Advancements such as this one not only contribute to enhancing Ontario’s battery recycling infrastructure but also boost efficiency, support larger battery collection volumes, reduce environmental impact, and stimulate the local economy. Overall, this partnership represents a pivotal step forward in advancing sustainable battery recycling practices in Ontario and setting a precedent for innovative waste management solutions in North America.
