Drone batteries — primarily lithium-polymer (LiPo) and lithium-ion — require specialized handling due to fire and chemical exposure risks. REFPV's battery recycling program in Shawnee follows DOT hazmat protocols for safe transport and processing. According to the EPA, improper lithium battery disposal causes an estimated 65% of waste facility fires nationwide.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Shawnee's recycled drones, we extract copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements. According to USGS data, a kilogram of drone circuit boards can contain more gold than a metric ton of gold ore — making recovery economically and environmentally essential.
