Battery recycling is evolving fast. Volumes are growing, chemistries are evolving, and the need for safe, connected systems has never been clearer. Our rebrand from Call2Recycle to The Battery Network reflects that shift, from a single program to a nationwide network built to support safety, scale, and stewardship across the entire battery lifecycle.

Recent industry coverage shows why this moment matters. From safety and logistics to circular economy infrastructure, third-party voices are reinforcing what comes next for battery recycling, and the role The Battery Network is built to play.
