ATLANTA, Ga., July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Call2Recycle, Inc., a leading provider of battery stewardship and recycling, is thrilled to announce that OneDrum™ — an innovative battery collection solution, has been honored with the prestigious Top Product of the Year Award in the Environment + Energy Leader Awards program. This accolade recognizes OneDrum as an exemplary leader making great strides in energy or environmental management.
Partnering with CellBlock FCS and ERI, Call2Recycle’s OneDrum solution is the first mixed consumer battery collection product of its kind and allows customers to safely place and transport large volumes of consumer batteries without the need to sort by chemistry or individually bag or tape battery terminals. OneDrum also features CellBlockEX®, an environmentally friendly extinguishing agent sourced from recycled glass and manufactured by CellBlock FCS.
The outstanding qualities and remarkable achievements of OneDrum captivated the attention of the program's distinguished panel of judges. One judge remarked, "The highly streamlined and turnkey nature of this process makes it highly appealing to customers seeking this product." Another judge added, "The environmental benefit could be not having to ship and drive recycled batteries to a recycler. It is great to see that CellBlockEX is 100% recycled content." These testimonials affirm the exceptional impact and excellence of OneDrum in driving sustainability and energy efficiency.
The Environment + Energy Leader Awards program aims to commend excellence in products and projects that deliver significant energy and environmental benefits.
Sarah Roberts, Co-President of E+E Leader, emphasized the rigorous selection process, stating, "This year’s entrants had to surpass an exceptionally high bar to qualify for an award, thanks to a seasoned and discerning judging panel as well as stringent judging criteria."
