Our mission

Battery Detection Solutions provides the recycling industry with an advanced platform for detecting and removing both lithium-ion and non-rechargable batteries from recycling material. 

Batteries that are removed from recycling facilities don't cause fires - an extremely effective fire management strategy.

Our team draws on decades of experience solving hard inspection problems in the food, medical and oil and gas domains.

 

Core values

BDS firmly believes in the importance of trust in business.  We have built trust over many decades in business by zealously doing what we commit to and by treating every customer relationship with the same high standard of trust we demand ourselves.
