Industry Leadership

Metals and Mining Industry Leaders

Without minerals and metals, the modern world would come to a standstill. Doe Run’s minerals and recycled lead are at the core of the world’s infrastructure, transportation and energy storage.

The long-term viability of our industries is critical to our communities, vendors and customers. We collaborate with other battery recycling and mining industry leaders to plan for the future of our products. Doe Run’s own mining industry leaders share their expertise through presentations and publications. View recent presentations and publications.

Battery Council International

Battery Council International (BCI) increases awareness about the important role lead batteries play in our world. BCI promotes public education about the importance of lead in powering our daily lives, new innovations for meeting future lead battery demand, and the environmental success of battery recycling. Battery recycling separates the lead, plastics and other materials within lead batteries, then repurposes those back into use as new batteries or other products. Modern, closed-loop battery recycling keeps 130 million lead batteries from landfills each year. Visit BCI to learn more.

Consortium of Battery Innovation (CBI)

CBI (formerly ALABC) is a collaboration of lead producers, battery manufacturers, battery recycling companies, equipment suppliers and research institutions. The international research organization improves lead battery technology for a variety of energy storage applications. Doe Run was a founding member.

American Tin Trade Association (ATTA)

ATTA’s primary purpose is to promote the best interests of those engaged in the production, distribution, transportation, consumption, purchase and sale of pig tin.
