In 2019, VALORCAR NETWORK collected a total of 20,734 tons of lead-acid batteries, which translates in an annual growth of 7.6% and enabled a collection rate of 101.0% to be achieved (in compliance with the goal defined in the legislation, which is 98%).
These batteries were sent to 4 industrial units specially dedicated to this battery recycling. Two are located in national territory and the rest in Spain.
Approximately 6 tonnes of lithium-ion battery and accumulator waste (used in hybrid and electric vehicles) were also collected. The main destination for these batteries was their reuse in stationary energy storage units.
