Call2Recycle Canada Partners with EDI on New Battery Sorting Technology

Call2Recycle Canada is partnering with Electronic Distributors International Inc (EDI) on a new battery sorting technology that aims to multiply Ontario, Canada’s ability to sort and recycle end-of-life batteries.

Call2Recycle and EDI explain that the investment supports the company’s strategies in competitive battery recycling infrastructure to increase efficiency, enhance safety, and help meet the area’s waste diversion goals. The new battery sorting equipment is in Orillia, Ontario at EDI’s facility, and is only one of four of its type in the world.

The equipment will double the EDI plant’s capacity to sort used batteries.

“At EDI, we are continuously striving to not only modernize the recycling industry but to invest in solutions that align seamlessly with our partners’ evolving sustainability needs. We are excited to be working with Call2Recycle to pioneer technology-driven battery sorting in North America, where innovative solutions drive responsible recycling,” said Norm Yorke, managing partner at EDI.

“We are proud to work with forward-thinking organizations like EDI who drive innovation and positive change in the recycling industry,” says Call2Recycle Canada President Joe Zenobio.

“Innovations like this not only bolster our efforts to increase Ontario’s battery recycling infrastructure but also help enhance its efficiency by supporting the collection of larger volumes of batteries, minimizing the environmental impact and supporting the local economy.”
