Project Details

Description

When portable batteries are disposed of in the same way as general or recycling waste, they may be compacted, punctured, or covered in liquid. Incorrect battery disposal can cause fires, risking damage to the surrounding environment and wildlife. Additionally, corroding batteries begin to leak chemicals into soil and eventually, surface water, causing water pollution.
We aim to transform the present situation where battery recycling bins provide no financial benefits to retailers and explore an overlooked opportunity. With this background, we want to request some of your time to have a discussion around the positive roles we can play in reducing these harmful environmental impacts by properly recycling portable batteries in the UK.
