Battery Rescue Australia Pty Ltd was formally established in 2013 to demonstrate as successful battery collection & recycling business using the Battery Transport & Storage (BTS) Container, developed by its sister company UNISEG Products Pty Ltd. It currently owns the exclusive Australian license for the BTS Container for battery recycling applications.
The story of Battery Rescue started in 2010, when inventor and entrepreneur, Fenton Goddard, was helping a friend in his recycling business, when he noticed that the transportation and storage of used lead acid batteries, didn’t appear to be either safe or very efficient. Fenton thought there must be a better way, however his research for a suitable product that might help, came up blank.
Being a compulsive inventor he set about developing a product for this purpose. This culminated in the Battery Transport & Storage (BTS) Container, which has been provisionally patented and we believe in combination with Battery Rescue’s unique collection system, will transform worldwide how ULAB’s are transported and stored.
David Bush, joined the Battery Rescue board in October 2013. Fenton and David are committed environmentalist and want to see Battery Rescue make a valuable contribution to reducing the dangers and impact on the environment caused by the unsafe and illegal transportation, storage and disposal of all types of batteries.
