Insights
Toro's Battery Recycling Initiative: Strategic Positioning in the Green Economy
Toro's new partnership with Call2Recycle represents more than just environmental stewardship—it's a strategic business move in the rapidly evolving outdoor power equipment market. As the industry continues its transition from gas-powered to battery-powered equipment, this recycling program positions Toro to capitalize on several emerging market dynamics.
The initiative addresses a critical gap in the battery-powered equipment lifecycle. High-energy batteries (over 300-watt hours) used in lawnmowers and snow blowers contain valuable materials including lithium, cobalt, and nickel—metals facing supply constraints amid growing demand. By establishing this recycling infrastructure now, Toro is potentially securing future access to these critical materials while simultaneously reducing exposure to volatile raw material prices.
From a regulatory perspective, this proactive approach puts Toro ahead of potential extended producer responsibility legislation that could mandate such programs in the future. Several states are already considering battery recycling regulations, and federal action may follow. By establishing systems now, Toro avoids potential compliance scrambles and associated costs down the road.
The collaboration with major industry players including Husqvarna, Makita, and Stanley Black & Decker creates an industry-standard approach that benefits from economies of scale. This shared infrastructure reduces individual implementation costs while maximizing collection points—a important factor for consumer participation and program success.
For investors, this initiative signals Toro's long-term strategic thinking beyond quarterly results. The company is positioning itself for sustainable growth in the battery-powered segment while enhancing its ESG profile—increasingly important for institutional investors and ESG-focused funds. While the immediate financial impact may be minimal, the program creates potential for reduced compliance costs, improved material security, and strengthened brand equity among environmentally conscious consumers.
As the outdoor power equipment market continues its electrification journey, companies that master the full product lifecycle—including end-of-life management—will likely emerge as the most resilient players in this transforming industry.
Collaborative initiative aims to advance battery recycling and drive waste reduction
“At The Toro Company, sustainability isn't just a goal; it's our very foundation,” said Tiffany Brand, senior sustainability manager at The Toro Company. “Our commitment to sustainability extends to our participation in the High-Energy Battery Recycling program, ensuring that even as we power productivity, we do so responsibly, enriching both the land and the lives it sustains."
To provide the best service in support of a circular economy, Call2Recycle has partnered with industry leaders The Toro Company, Chervon, Husqvarna, Makita, Stanley Black & Decker, STIHL, and Techtronic Industries. Through this collaboration, consumers of their various brands’ products now have access to a responsible end-of-life solution for high-energy batteries.
“Thanks to the participation of our industry partners, we’re making it easier than ever for consumers to recycle their high-energy batteries with the launch of our new program,” said Call2Recycle CEO Leo Raudys. “Together, with brands consumers know and love, we’ve created a process to conveniently and seamlessly collect, assess, ship, and process these recyclable batteries that are increasingly common in everyday products. Call2Recycle applauds the collaboration and commitment of our partners, whose dedication to safety and environmental stewardship is paving the way for a circular future.”
As the prevalence of battery-powered products increases, so does the amount of energy needed to power them. Many large products, from lawnmowers to snow blowers, require the use of high-energy batteries (over 300-watt hours). As these high-energy batteries reach their end-of-life, the accessibility of recycling collection sites becomes fundamental in ensuring the safety of people, property, and the environment.
Under the new program, eligible and enrolled retailers will have access to safety training and recycling materials. Consumers will be able to return end-of-life high-energy batteries to participating collection sites, where they will be assessed, shipped, and processed for proper recycling.
