As a battery distributor, we are also obligated to take back used batteries, with our obligation limited to the type of used batteries that we sell or have sold as new batteries in our range.

2. Meaning of battery symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries that contain more than 0.0005% mercury by weight, more than 0.002% cadmium by weight, or more than 0.004% lead by weight, the chemical symbol for the specific pollutant used is displayed below the crossed-out bin symbol. “Cd” stands for cadmium, “Pb” stands for lead, and “Hg” stands for mercury.
