Eighty-eight million — up to 2,000 tonnes — of single-use household batteries from across the country will be recycled each year at Port Pirie's smelter site.
Port Pirie's smelter operator Nyrstar has become the country's first B-cycle accredited recycler to recover commodity-grade quality metals from alkaline batteries for international markets, after the company received accreditation from the Battery Stewardship Council.
