The installation will be made in a new facility in Halifax in West Yorkshire, less than 30 kilometres South West of Leeds.Whilst battery packs, cell phone batteries and button cells will be removed mechanically and sorted by hand, all cylindrical and 9V batteries will be sorted automatically.

The system from Refind has a capacity of 600-900 kg per hour. Batteries are recognised by its visual characteristics and are then separated by air ejectors in a speed of more than 10 batteries per second.
