In just one day, our system at Korn Recycling GmbH identified and safely removed a concerning number of batteries and battery-powered devices from the commercial waste stream. Every single battery detected is a potential fire prevented – and that’s exactly why these figures are so alarming.
Why this matters
The reality is that many batteries are still making their way unnoticed into recycling streams. Without proper detection systems, some of them can cause massive damage – from plant shutdowns to devastating fires that can also put employees at risk. Battery.Sort changes that fundamentally.
The most common finds on that day:
Lithium-ion batteries
Alkaline batteries
Battery packs
Vapes
Power tool batteries
More Than Just Sorting Technology
We are proud of our customers’ results and excited to see how we are improving the safety of their recycling plants day by day.
With Battery.Sort we’re preventing fires, protecting people, and creating a cleaner, safer future for the entire industry.
