Battery handling
🔋 Handle your batteries correctly – for people, the environment and resources
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste.
When batteries end up in the wrong place, they can cause fires, pollute soil and water, and lead to the loss of valuable raw materials. By disposing of them correctly, you help protect the environment and ensure that materials can be recycled.
Please use the available collection systems in your area, such as:
♻️
Local recycling centres
📍
Battery collection points in shops or public places
🏘️
Other designated collection schemes
It only takes a moment – but the impact is significant.
🌍 Small everyday actions make a difference
As a consumer, you play an important role in ensuring that used batteries are properly collected and recycled.
Three simple tips for better battery use:
🔄
Use batteries longer:
Choose rechargeable batteries when possible and use them fully before replacing them.
🚫
Do not mix waste:
Batteries must never be disposed of with general waste or other types of household waste.
⚠️
Return regularly:
Do not let used batteries accumulate – this increases the risk of fire and delays recycling.
