Big Battery CEO Gives Thousands of Masks at BLM Protests & Powers Covid-19 Triage Centres

The world’s most prolific e-waste recycler Eric Lundgren has been donating and personally handing out thousands of face masks at Black Lives Matter protests in Los Angeles to help keep the city’s population safe and support the movement.

Eric recently made national headlines (People Magazine, Yahoo!, Good Day LA) for using his global supply chain to import and donate millions of masks, protective suits, gloves, disinfectant spray, wipes, and donating mobile emergency power trailers made from repurposed lithium-ion batteries from old Teslas for Los Angeles hospitals to power their Covid-19 triage centers.

As Covid rates now climb in Southern California, area hospitals are now prepared for large numbers of patients in part because of Eric’s donation.This week he even paid for every seat of a Boeing 747 in order to fill it with PPE in order to get it to the United States.

This work is keeping Eric’s staff employed at his new company BigBattery.com, which in only 10 months has become the largest hybrid battery recycling company in the country.

The work to get the personal protective equipment and solar trailers ready, delivered and installed is keeping BigBattery’s work force of nearly forty fully employed during the pandemic.

With Lundgren’s strong global supply chain, he has pivoted his company to provide the public and first-responders with 15 million N95 and KN95 masks, hazmat suits and more. He is offering masks to the public,  as well, at his cost (just $2.50 per mask), and will be making no profit from this massive endeavour of importing and distributing the much needed medical supplies to citizens and first-responders.
