In this episode, we focus on what happens after batteries are collected, diving into how they are sorted for recycling. We explain how different types are separated using a mix of manual checks and automated technologies. Proper sorting is essential to ensure safe handling, prevent fire risks, and maximise the recovery of valuable materials. If you’ve ever wondered how mixed battery recycling is made possible, this episode breaks down the process in a clear and engaging way. This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Process' from episode 26 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 23rd January 2025. While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.We would love you to join our community on DiscordSpecial thanks to our sponsor, EcosuretyTo get exclusive videos and clips, follow us on Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads or Facebook; @rubbishpodcast or YouTube: @talkingrubbishpodcastOr you can contact James and Robbie with questions or just general rubbish musings using the email address [email protected] or by texting them via WhatsApp on 07356 069 232Music licence ID: 3GXXBILNPGLYRUZF
