Energizer EcoAdvanced batteries 

             This new battery can energize a whole new form of batteries, ones that are recycled from the old cells that are dead. The current version of this is only made up of 4 percent of the old cell. By 2025 Energizer hopes to have it be 40 percent of the recycled material. This will significantly reduce the environmental harm caused by battery production and waste. This will decrease the amount of dangerous material from dumps.
