Recycling process

The plastic is chipped into small pieces, and treated for normal plastic recycling. The lead goes through a melting process, and can then be reused to make new batteries, or other lead products, such as guttering. The acid is neutralised and finally, the component of distilled water is purified, and can easily be reused.
