TORONTO-- Call2Recycle Canada and Electronic Distributors International Inc. (EDI) are pleased to announce the launch of a new partnership to increase the sorting capacity of end-of-life batteries in Ontario. EDI’s sorting plant in Orillia (ON) will join the existing battery collection and recycling network operated by Call2Recycle, supporting the Ontario economy and increasing the battery sorting capacity in the province by 30%.
Batteries are an essential element for Canadian households and businesses and recycling them plays an important part in Canada’s commitment to manage hazardous waste responsibly. This new agreement will significantly expand the battery recycling infrastructure in Ontario, and help increase the collection, sorting and management of increased volumes of batteries in the province.
