Why recycle?

Both electrical equipment and batteries contain recyclable metals such as zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cadmium or lead. Some of these substances can be hazardous to the environment and human health, especially mercury, lead and cadmium. Certain batteries are marked with the chemical symbol of the contained element (Pb, Cd, Hg).

By handing over batteries and equipment at take-back points, recycling helps save primary raw material resources and protects the environment from improper handling.

Unused batteries that are not returned to take-back points but stored at home or at work may cause fire. This risk is particularly relevant for lithium batteries. For safety reasons, it is important to return used batteries for recycling as soon as possible.
