East Penn Receives the World’s Highest UL Recycled Content Validation for Batteries.

East Penn is pleased to announce that the company’s full line of Transportation batteries has been validated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for an allocation of 98% recycled material, the highest UL Recycled Content Validation for batteries in the world.

UL Validation

UL’s Environmental Claim Validation service confirms that the product claims a manufacturer makes in marketing and packaging materials are factual through a rigorous process that uses globally accepted standards and robust scientific analysis.

East Penn elected to submit the company’s full transportation product line for evaluation to UL’s 2809 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure, which determines the amount of recycled content in products. The validation also speaks to the efficiency and integrity of a supply chain and represents the commitment manufacturers made to product circularity and environmental stewardship.

East Penn is pleased to be recognized by UL for providing products with such a high rate of recyclability. Receiving a UL Recycled Content validation of 98% is an exciting way the company can help give consumers confidence that they are using products that not only help power their vehicles, but also help power a circular economy and a closed-loop recycling system.
