Battery collection and recycling organization Call2Recycle is extending its partnership with Staples to include Staples Professional, now offering its Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! Program to business customers nationwide.
Staples Professional is offering its business customers across Canada access to the program, which allows them to recycle used batteries safely and responsibly, in accordance with the highest industry standards. Used batteries will be processed to recover valuable materials for reuse in the manufacturing of new products, reducing the environmental impact and contributing to a strong circular economy, says Staples.
Staples and Call2Recycle have been partnered for the last 20 years, working to encourage battery recycling. Together, the companies have recycled almost two-million kilograms of used batteries since 2004.
“Staples Professional is committed to delivering products, services, and solutions that not only meet the diverse needs of our customers but also protect our natural resources and our planet,” says Chris Saniga, Chief B2B Officer at Staples Professional. “We are proud to extend that commitment to support our customers’ environmental initiatives through Call2Recycle’s Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program.”
“We have made great strides with our partner Staples Canada for the past 20 years, helping Canadian consumers become increasingly aware of the importance of recycling batteries,” adds Joe Zenobio, President of Call2Recycle Canada. “We are thrilled to expand these efforts to Staples Professional, making it even easier for Canadian businesses to recycle their batteries and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
Call2Recycle’s program partners with businesses, retailers, battery manufacturers, provincial governments, and municipalities to collect and recycle as many used batteries as possible across Canada. All Canadians are encouraged to ‘Collect, Protect, and Drop-Off’ their batteries for recycling.
