> Hi
>  
> I was given your
> details by Gerry Gillespie of Resource NSW in Australia who felt
> you may be able to make some recommendations in this
> area.
>  
> Our company is
> working with differant state governments in Australia to begin
> seperating out household batteries from disposal. Helping in many
> areas including having our process help to make the collection and
> processing of organic materials safer as it removes one of the worst
> contaminants batteries.
>  
> We effectively
> reprocess the batteries bringing them back to around 80% of original
> capacity. We repackage them and re-sell them. No doubt some of the
> immediate benefits are obvious. Instead of a "one use"
> battery being such a great waste of resources. Our program would
> effectively  reduce battery production and waste. I am
> aware in the USA batteries are already recycled but our process can
> extend  battery life by up to 15 times. By a clean safe
> environment friendly process.
>  
> My initial reason for
> contacting is to ask for your recommendations in this area
> and to ask for better on-the-ground contacts. Obviously the
> scale of such a project for the USA would be enormous and it needs to
> be remembered I am initially researching how and if it would
> work in the USA. There are many factors to be taken into
> consideration and that is why I am asking for your help and
> recommendations as well as general thoughs in relation to this idea.
> Should you know people interested in establishing this idea in the
> USA I am open to all possibilities in working
> relationships.
