As part of its 100-year anniversary in 2018, Panasonic announced a goal of becoming the leader in green electronics innovation. Its Green Plan 2018 is a plan for steadily cutting its environmental impact while making “the world’s greenest and most green-enabling products.” Among its goals is to achieve zero waste at its manufacturing facilities and support programs to collect and recycle their products.

Call2Recycle, Inc. shares a similar philosophy to Panasonic when it comes to recycling, the organization says.

Carl Smith, CEO and president of Call2Recycle, says that with Panasonic’s support, Call2Recycle has recycled more than 75 million pounds of batteries since its inception. The companies say the partnership has helped them take positive action to promote sustainability through responsible recycling.
