According to Fortune Business Insights, the global battery scrap market is projected to keep expanding as rising volumes of end-of-life batteries move through formal collection and recycling channels. Lead-acid remains the largest and most established recycling stream of any battery chemistry, with recovery infrastructure that lithium-ion is still building out.

For fleets running lead-acid (flooded and TPPL) batteries today, that means the end-of-life plan is not a question mark. It is already built. Read the full article here 👉

The global battery scrap market size is valued at USD 36.08 billion in 2026, projected to reach USD 89.15 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 11.97% during 2026–2034.

Most facility managers know how much energy their plant consumes on a monthly basis. But far fewer know what their highest 15-minute electrical draw is, or what it actually cost them.

Having a thorough understanding of a facilities electrical consumption can offer an operation important insight on potential cost saving opportunities and decreasing its carbon footprint. A battery energy storage system (BESS) can be an important tool employed by operations, providing them with available power during demand spikes, rate hikes, and down grids.

Building a strong lift truck safety culture takes more than a training checklist. A recent industry feature on warehouse safety highlights how leading operations combine visual cues, like floor striping and designated travel lanes, with consistent, reinforced training and open communication between leadership and operators.

What actually separates a safety program that sticks from one that fades after an incident-free quarter? Modern Materials Handling put that question to safety leaders directly:

As warehouses become busier and more complex, companies are strengthening lift truck safety programs through a combination of operator training, visual controls, traffic management strategies and advanced technologies. Industry experts say a strong safety culture—supported by leadership commitment...
