ABOUT TERRAPURE

Terrapure Environmental is a leading provider of recycling solutions that contribute to the circular economy of batteries and create value for customers throughout North America.

At Terrapure, we’re Changing Waste for Good. We see both economy and environment as invaluable, understanding one cannot be prioritized at the expense of the other. With an unwavering focus on environmental, health and safety excellence, we recycle lead batteries and provide recovered lead and plastics to the battery manufacturing industry for reuse in the creation of new products, while significantly reducing waste requiring disposal.

We partner with all major North American battery manufacturers to provide a sustainable closed-loop, circular-economy solution to locally capture spent batteries and recover their valuable components for reuse. In doing so, we help achieve a 99 percent recycling rate – the highest of any consumer product in North America. This includes collecting and processing lead acid batteries and producing high-quality recycled lead and polypropylene pellets for battery manufacturers.

We do this through two, strategically located, state-of-the-art recycling facilities near Toronto and Montreal, as well as a logistics hub near Buffalo, New York to facilitate the import/export of products. These locations, along with an extensive network of supply chain and commercial partners, allow us to provide unparalleled service to our battery manufacturing customers throughout North America.
