Our Mission
At Gopher Resource, our mission is to deliver clean, reliable, high-quality environmental solutions that protect people and communities while supporting the infrastructure Americans rely on every day.
We safely and efficiently recycle lead batteries across North America, recovering critical materials that power transportation, communications, and energy systems. Through disciplined operations and advanced technologies, we keep the battery lifecycle in motion and contribute to a more resilient domestic supply chain.
HOW WE DELIVER ON OUR MISSION
Safe and Responsible Operations
Protecting people and communities is fundamental to how we operate. Safety is embedded into every process, supported by rigorous protocols, extensive training, and continuous improvement across our facilities.
Environmental Stewardship
We recycle more than 24 million spent lead batteries each year, keeping them out of landfills and returning valuable materials to productive use. Through closed‑loop recycling, we help strengthen the domestic supply chain and reduce reliance on imported lead, supporting U.S. manufacturing and infrastructure with responsibly recovered materials.
