1. A closed-loop process of managing recycling and manufacturing a lead acid battery, the process comprising:
collecting one or more used lead acid batteries from a first point of sale location;
collecting, via a first terminal at a first location, first data related to a weight of each of the one or more lead acid batteries collected;
processing, at a second location, the one or more lead acid batteries collected so as to separate the batteries into lead, polymer, acid, and separator components and isolate said components;
recycling the lead and the polymer;
collecting, via a second terminal at the second location, second data related to a separate weight of at least one of the recycled lead, the recycled polymer, and the acid;
comparing the first data to the second data to calculate a weight loss of at least one of the lead, the polymer, the acid, and the separator components during the recycling using a server electrically coupled with the first terminal and the second terminal;
creating a new lead acid battery using the recycled lead and the recycled polymer; and
providing the new lead acid battery to a second point of sale location.
