Energizer Holdings, Inc. is an American manufacturer and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of batteries, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. It produces batteries under the Energizer, Ray-O-Vac, Varta, and Eveready brand names, and formerly owned a number of personal care businesses until it separated that side of the business into a new company called Edgewell Personal Care in 2015.
Not only are Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ AA batteries made from 4% recycled batteries, they are also recyclable themselves (more about that later). Each Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ AA battery contains 4% recycled material by total weight. Today there is no other primary battery in the world made with recycled batteries. By design, Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ batteries are not rechargeable.
Using breakthrough proprietary technology and exclusive (recycling) partnerships, Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ batteries are made from refined and transformed battery material which is created into a high-performance active ingredient. Energizer® believes this is the next step in their journey to bring performance and responsibility to the world.
Based on product testing, Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ is Energizer’s longest-lasting alkaline battery on the market today – and more responsible than any other of their alkaline products which do not contain recycled material.
By using longer lasting batteries, consumers use fewer batteries and create less waste. Efficiency is the name of the game here. In addition, less virgin material is required in the Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ manufacturing process.
According to Energizer®, sourcing virgin materials drives more than seventy percent of the environmental impact of alkaline batteries, and they are committed to reducing waste through recycling and decreasing the need for virgin materials.
