Power Solutions Online is committed to environmental sustainability through interests in renewable energy, reducing our carbon footprint, and recycling batteries. Currently less than 3% of all batteries purchased in Australia are recycled; the rest is used for landfill. When batteries are recycled, their non-renewable resources can be recovered. Recycling helps removes toxic and hazardous substances from landfill, particularly lead, cadmium and mercury.
