Batteries Plus first became a Proud Partner of the Green Bay Packers at the start of the 2024 season with a goal of reshaping battery recycling efforts across the country and inspiring communities to join the mission of doing their part. That first year proved successful in both the number of batteries recycled, and in the awareness raised about recycling batteries. In July 2024, third-party research found that just 28% of the Packers’ national fanbase believed battery recycling was easy enough to incorporate into their regular recycling habits. But by the end of the inaugural season, that number had risen to 57%, reflecting the impact of the partnership’s awareness efforts.
That awareness quickly translated into action. During that first football season, Batteries Plus stores across Wisconsin collected 100% more batteries to be recycled than the previous year. That’s an additional 100,000 pounds of lithium and other battery chemistries recycled for second life application and kept out of landfills. This year, Batteries Plus aims to double volumes again over the 2024 numbers.
“The Packers organization is proud to team up with Batteries Plus once again to tackle battery recycling head-on,” said Justin Wolf, Packers Director of Corporate Partnerships Sales and Activations. “The significant growth in fan awareness over the past year highlights the real progress we can make when we combine education with community passion. By joining forces once again, we can keep building on that momentum, educating fans about the importance of proper battery disposal and encouraging them to take part in recycling efforts, all while giving them the chance to score exciting Packers prizes.”
