Information on the disposal and return of batteries and waste batteries
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. Not only do they contain valuable raw materials, but they also contain pollutants that can endanger the environment and health. Help protect the environment by disposing of used batteries properly.
Meaning of the battery symbols
On batteries, you will find the following icons:
Meaning: Batteries do not belong in household waste.
Chemical signs (e.g. Cd, Hg, Pb): these indicate the pollutants they contain:
- Cd = cadmium — contains more than 0.002 percent cadmium by mass
- Hg = mercury — contains more than 0.0005 percent by mass of mercury
- Pb = lead — contains more than 0.004 percent lead by mass
Purpose of separate collection
The separate collection of used batteries allows:
- The reuse or recycling of valuable raw materials.
- The avoidance of environmental and health damage caused by improper disposal.
- Compliance with legal requirements for the protection of the environment and people.
Preparation for reuse, conversion and recycling
Please only hand in completely discharged batteries and rechargeable batteries. If possible, remove batteries from devices before disposing of them, as this simplifies the recycling process.
