Battery collector

Why sort and recycle used batteries?

Cells and small batteries often contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and lithium, which are extremely toxic to the environment and can have adverse effects on human health. When these batteries are disposed of in household trash or left in nature, they can slowly decompose and release these toxic metals into soil and groundwater, contaminating surrounding ecosystems.

By recycling used batteries, we can avoid pollution caused by these heavy metals and preserve our
limited natural resources. Batteries also contain valuable materials such as iron, zinc and
nickel, which can be recovered and reused in other industries. By recycling batteries, we contribute to the reduction of waste, the preservation of the environment and the conservation of natural resources.

How does battery collection work?

Collecting used batteries is an essential process to ensure their proper recycling. Many specific collection points, such as collection bins in supermarkets, DIY stores, town halls and recycling centers, are available to the public to drop off their used batteries.

The benefits of battery recycling

Battery recycling has many benefits, both for the environment and for our society. Here is
some of the main advantages:
1. Preservation of natural resources: By recycling batteries, we can recover valuable materials such as iron, zinc and nickel, reducing dependence on limited natural resources.
2. Waste Reduction: By recycling batteries, we prevent them from ending up in landfills and contaminating the environment. This helps reduce the amount of waste produced and preserve the
natural ecosystems.
3. Environmental protection: By recycling batteries, we prevent the release of toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium into the environment, reducing the risk of pollution and
damage to ecosystems.
4. Job Creation: The battery recycling industry creates jobs in the environmental and waste management sector, contributing to the local economy.

In short, recycling used batteries is an important action that we can all take to preserve our environment and our natural resources. By depositing our used batteries in an appropriate collection bin and supporting recycling initiatives, we contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

To go further, you can also set up sorting bins for compostable waste (compulsory since January 1, 2024).
