Note on the disposal of waste batteries

The following notice is addressed to those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form in which they were delivered to them (end-users)

 

1. Free take-back of waste batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be ensured. You can return used batteries to a municipal collection point or to your local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back used batteries, although our obligation to take back used batteries is limited to those that we carry or have carried in our range as new batteries. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in directly at our dispatch warehouse free of charge.

2. Meaning of the battery symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. For batteries that contain more than 0.0005 mass percent mercury, more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium or more than 0.004 mass percent lead, the chemical designation of the respective pollutant is located below the dustbin symbol - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
