Environment
OPT is aligned and committed to Resolução CONAMA 401/2008 and carries out the environmentally appropriate destination of batteries with lead-acid as active principle, after its energy depletion.
Collection of waste batteries
The scrap batteries can be collected free of charge at location requested by the customer or sent to the collection point at OPT’s plant in Extrema, Minas Gerais. Collected materials are sent to a recycling plant, licensed and controlled by the State Environmental Agency and IBAMA, where the components of the batteries are recovered, avoiding the impact on the environment. At the end, the Certificate of Final Destination is sent to the customer, proving that the company complies with environmental standards.
