Disposal of waste batteries/accumulators

1. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on batteries and their packaging provides important information on separate collection requirements and the presence of hazardous substances.

This symbol may be combined with chemical symbols for mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) if the battery contains more than 0.0005% of mercury, 0.002% of cadmium or 0.004% of lead.

2. End-users are encouraged to contribute to waste prevention by using batteries responsibly, avoiding unnecessary replacement, and following recommended practices to extend the battery life. Where applicable, batteries and devices should be considered for re-use, preparation for re-use, repurposing, or remanufacturing.

End-users are advised to ensure that waste batteries are collected separately in accordance with applicable local requirements to facilitate proper treatment and recycling.

3. Waste batteries, especially those containing lithium, should be handled with care.

Do not damage, crush, or expose batteries to heat or fire, as they may pose risks such as leakage, fire, or explosion. Follow local safety instructions for storage and transport.

4. Batteries may contain substances that may be harmful to the environment and human health if improperly disposed of. Therefore, waste batteries and accumulators should be disposed of properly to prevent potential adverse impacts on the environment, wildlife, and human health.

5. Waste batteries can be returned to designated collection and take-back systems, where they may undergo preparation for re-use, repurposing, or appropriate treatment and recycling processes.

6. For detailed information concerning the appropriate disposal of waste batteries and accumulators, users are advised to contact the local municipal authority, designated waste management service provider, or the place of purchase.
