December OSBRC Student Mission Gift Card Winners!

January 16, 2025


On December 6, 2024, the Ontario Schools Battery Recycling Challenge by Environmental 360 Solutions Ltd. (E360S) randomly selected five students to receive a $50 Visa gift card for completing at least 3 of 5 Student Missions before the Christmas break!

“Each of these students embarked on a mission to recycle household batteries, preventing recyclable material from wasting away in a landfill,” said Sarah Lacharity of E360S. “They helped reduce the negative impacts of improper battery disposal and supported their school’s over arching goal to recycle as many batteries as possible.”

About the OSBRC

The OSBRC is a recycling challenge for elementary and secondary schools across Ontario. The purpose of the Challenge is to teach students and their families how to safely handle batteries and how to recycle them. Students, teachers, and their families have recycled more than 13.4 million batteries since the program started in 2014. The Challenge has also awarded $102,962.08 to schools, students, and the SickKids Foundation.

OSBRC schools can download resources, such as lesson plans, that tie into the curriculum. They can also download various posters, activity worksheets, and more to keep recycling at the forefront during the year.

The batteries recycled during the Challenge are processed at Environmental 360 Solutions Ltd. in Port Colborne. E360S sorts the batteries by chemistry and then recycles the alkaline batteries using its patented recycling technology. 100% of each alkaline battery is reused and no part of the battery ends up in the landfill.

Environmental 360 Solutions uses a mechanical process that separates all of the components of a primary battery so they can be properly recycled. The recovered materials are used to make new products saving our earth's finite resources and the energy needed to mine them from ore.
