# Do not let one battery stream define your whole plant's waste program.

**GREENFLOW VS TERRAPURE**

Your battery inventory may be only one part of the job. If other hazardous materials also need attention, Greenflow starts with the full site inventory and builds the proposed service around the accepted streams, with one accountable expert and clear scope before pickup.

## At a glance

- Review the whole site inventory
- Keep battery requirements specific
- One owner for the agreed program

## Choose Greenflow when the buying decision is wider than battery recovery.

Terrapure specialises in lead-battery recycling, recovering lead and plastics, and handling other chemistries for third-party recycling. If battery recovery is the whole job, that specialism is relevant. If your team also manages other hazardous waste, Greenflow offers a broader site-service conversation so the proposed program reflects the work across your operation. Battery acceptance is reviewed by chemistry and condition.

## Battery recovery and plant service are distinct scopes.

Keep the battery pathway specific while comparing how the rest of the site's waste will be managed.

| Your priority | Greenflow | Terrapure |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Starting inventory | We review the facility's hazardous waste inventory, including any battery requirement. | Centres its offer on batteries and related recovery activities. |
| Battery chemistry | Chemistry and condition are reviewed before inclusion in a Greenflow proposal. | Recycles lead batteries and sorts other chemistries for third-party recycling. |
| Other industrial materials | Additional streams are individually reviewed for the proposed site program. | Lists industrial wastes useful to its lead-smelting process. |

## Why choose Greenflow

### Build the program around the facility.

A maintenance team may be managing batteries alongside old chemicals, process waste or stored containers. Greenflow lets you bring that full picture to one expert. We establish what can be included and explain the proposed scope, so your service decision accounts for the actual work the site needs handled.

### Keep different economics visible.

Battery material value and hazardous waste collection are not automatically priced the same way. The useful question is what the complete proposal includes for your inventory. Greenflow explains its proposed work and assumptions before approval, letting your team see the collection arrangement clearly without relying on a general recovery or savings claim.

## Start with the entire inventory, then define the streams.

A broader program still needs material-specific acceptance and handling.

## Your next steps

### Identify batteries and other waste separately.

Provide battery chemistry, condition, quantities and packaging, alongside the other materials and site details.

### Review a defined service offer.

We confirm which streams fit our proposal and clarify the scope and pricing before approval. Keep any battery purchase arrangements distinct.

### Coordinate the agreed service.

Your Greenflow expert keeps the accepted collection work connected to records and invoice follow-up.

## Questions before you switch

### Can Greenflow accept damaged lithium batteries?

Identify the chemistry, damage, quantity and storage conditions in your inquiry. We review those details before offering any collection arrangement.

### Will Greenflow buy our used batteries?

Tell us whether you are seeking a material purchase, a collection service or both. The proposal will make the applicable commercial arrangement clear.

### Can I keep a battery recycler and use Greenflow for other waste?

We can review the other streams as a separate scope. Share the full inventory so the proposed responsibilities and collection arrangements are clear.
