Batteries must be disposed of properly!
The Battery Act (BattG) regulates the placing on the market, the return and the environmentally sound disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries.
Consumers need to be aware of the following:
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with residual waste. Therefore, consumers are legally obliged to return used batteries/rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can damage the environment and people’s health. Important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese, cobalt,
nickel, graphite, copper, aluminium and lithium are used in batteries/rechargeable batteries and can be recovered if the batteries are disposed of
properly.
Used batteries/rechargeable batteries must be handed in at recycling centres or collection points of the GRS (Stiftung Gemeinsames Rücknahmesystem Batterien – Foundation for a Joint Battery Return System).
According to the BattG, all types of batteries/rechargeable batteries are affected, regardless of shape, size, mass, material composition or use. The law therefore also applies to installed and enclosed batteries.
