TODAY, THE POLLUTION CAUSED BY BATTERIES IS ONE OF THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE DISPOSAL.



To avoid this, it is important to dispose of them in specially provided recycling containers.

Using rechargeable batteries is also a viable environmental alternative to disposable batteries.

Rechargeable batteries have up to 32 times less impact on the environment than disposable batteries*! If we replaced all of the disposable batteries* in the world with rechargeable batteries, it would avoid producing 330 000 metric tonnes of waste.

Opting for rechargeable batteries and recycling them at the end of their life is a simple step that all eco-citizens can take to preserve the quality of our environment.


The differences between disposable batteries and rechargeables

There are two types of batteries:

- Those that are used once and then thrown away, also called disposable or primary batteries (alkaline, saline, lithium...).
- Those that can be recharged, commonly known as rechargeables. Rechargeables are sometimes referred to as secondary cells.
