Recopila Program
Innova opera el programa Recopila a través de su empresa hermana ECOTEC, única en el país con la capacidad técnica y para realizar el aprovechamiento de pilas primarias.
Battery waste and batteries are made up of different materials such as oxide, manganese (MnO), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) or lithium (Li) and an alkaline electrolyte (KOH or LiOH) which if is improperly disposed must cause serious damage to ecosystems and water sources.
Recopila is a program designed to collect used batteries, take them to a safe place and prevent them from being thrown in the trash or the environment. For this, Recopila relies on the participation and commitment of consumers for the benefit of the environment.
The process is summarized in three steps:
- Avoid throwing batteries in the trash.
- Deposit them at the collection points or deliver them to INNOVA.
- Tell the people what they do with the used batteries.
INNOVA is the operator of the Recopila program at a national level with a collection and classification service for the different types of batteries and the use of materials, the only one in the country with installed technical capacity and to make use of primary batteries
How to participate?
Participating is very easy, collect the used batteries in a plastic container with a lid, collect the waste in a cool and dry place and when it is full we will collect it, thus helping our planet.
