What Are The Key Hurdles In EV Battery Transport?
Read Storyby Maria Batt
At Americase, sustainability is central to how products are developed, manufactured, and used in the field. The goal is to minimize waste, maximize reuse, and make responsible recycling easier for everyone.
During product development, Americase is constantly analyzing different sustainable materials, with aluminum as the primary choice. The long-term aim is to work entirely with recycled or recyclable materials, ensuring nothing ends up in landfills or harms the environment.
Throughout the manufacturing process, scrap is closely monitored—where it is produced, where it goes, and how it is handled. The focus is on safe, responsible management so that even byproducts don’t create unnecessary environmental impact.
Americase products are designed for long use in the roughest environments. Most are expected to remain in service for 10, 15, or even 20 years. The intention is that a product only needs to be built and recycled once in its lifecycle, avoiding the cycle of constant repurchasing.
Unlike many products designed to fail after just a few years, Americase cases are made to last as long as physically possible. This durability promotes reuse and reduces reliance on non-recyclable or less sustainable alternatives.
Recycling only works when it’s easy. If the process requires too many steps, most people will not follow through. For example, regulations may prohibit throwing lithium batteries in the trash, but without clear, simple systems, many people and businesses still do.
Americase addresses this by designing products that are not only recyclable themselves but also make it simple for customers to return hazardous goods for proper disposal. By helping simplify the process, Americase ensures it fits into real-world workflows.
There are times when shorter-life products are necessary—particularly during emergencies. In situations like a cell phone recall, many consumers might otherwise throw unsafe devices in the trash. To prevent that, Americase develops economical, easy-to-use packaging that allows companies to recall hazardous goods quickly and responsibly.
By keeping costs low and the process straightforward for both businesses and consumers, Americase ensures that hazardous materials are removed from circulation and sent into responsible recycling streams.
Every Americase product is shaped by two sustainability goals:
By connecting these two goals, Americase promotes a true circular economy—one that protects people, facilities, and the environment.
