During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Salt Lake County Household Hazardous Waste Facility of Utah went out of business, and this is where locals would bring alkaline batteries to be recycled. Now, a new group in Salt Lake County is working to replace alkaline use with lithium-ion batteries.
Pale Blue, a Park City-based group is trying to achieve its goal of reducing single-use batteries and wants to replace them with lithium-based rechargeable ones.
As of now, the organization has collected 250 pounds of batteries. A small start so far but shows the early belief in this group’s initiative.
Thomas Bishop, CEO of Pale Blue believes we that lithium batteries are the future.
“We’re in the Lithium-Ion Age. The guys who created it won the Nobel Prize; I think for good reason.”
