In order to increase efficiency in the use of raw materials, water and energy, through the non-generation, minimization or recycling of waste generated in the production process, our company will adopt economic, environmental and technological strategies integrated into processes and products, characteristics of clean production
Waste generated in production:
It is common for waste to be generated in the processes of a production line, in the case of our company, the waste mostly comes from the disassembly area (section 2). In this section, some components of the electric scooters that are not suitable for our production system are dismantled, such as the brake lights, the engine, the wheels, the bell, among others. However, all these materials will be boxed and sent to the warehouse area, so that they can be sold to the respective brand or private customers and thus be recycled. Selling these products gives these products a new lease of life, whether as a component of a new electric scooter or as a component of a new object.
Other components of scooters, such as the display, screws, batteries, electrical wires and aluminum, will be reused and used in our product, “Electrical Energy Storage”.
Resource consumption reduction strategies:
Natural resources are increasingly a target of distress due to their increasing scarcity, which is why there is concern about reducing their consumption. As such, BatteryReVive thought out in detail and strategically how to reduce energy and water consumption in the processes integrated into the production line.
Although there is no process that works directly with water, workers in the welding and painting areas are constantly getting dirty. So, so that you don't always have to wash your hands, you will use washable gloves and suits that only need to be washed every 3 days. Furthermore, in terms of energy, the company's workers will always have to readjust the machines and only turn them on in circumstances that justify their use.
Reduction of pollutant emissions:
BatteryReVive wants to pay special attention to reducing pollutant emissions, as it is essential for a lower environmental impact. Therefore, we seek to reduce both the use of products and the chemical processes that are necessary throughout the processes of our production system.
The first example of the sustainable method used is in the product disassembly section. The main component we use in electric scooters are the batteries, although some may have one battery or another that is not functional. When this happens, the respective battery is replaced with another that is operational. Although the problem has been resolved, the damaged battery unfortunately has no chance of having a new life, and throwing it in ordinary rubbish causes a lot of damage to the environment, due to the highly contaminating fluids it contains. So, whenever workers detect a non-functional battery, they will place it in a specific box. This box at the end of each week will be taken to Rede Eletrão, a national company specializing in the treatment of batteries and household appliances.
Furthermore, all paints and varnishes used in the painting part of the casing (one of the processes in the assembly section) will be from the titanlux brand. The titanlux brand produces ecological and antibacterial paints and varnishes. Both products eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and mold, are made from water, are biodegradable and, in addition, their packaging is also recyclable. Choosing these products, instead of common paints and varnishes, are choices that contribute to achieving the sustainable goals described above.
In the rest of the sorting, disassembly, storage, assembly, cleaning and inspection processes, exclusively mechanical and electrical processes are used. In none of these processes are any toxic liquids or gases released, since the only chemicals used are those mentioned above and those in the cleaning area, which are completely harmless to the environment, when used correctly.
Therefore, BatteryReVive is based on ecological measures and objectives to ensure that it contributes
to an increase in less use of natural resources and a reduction in the release of greenhouse gas emissions and waste generated.
