Information on prevention and management of waste batteries
The role of end-users in contributing to waste prevention
Follow the charge and storage methods according to the specifications of the product/battery. Avoid crushing, impact or shock to the product/battery.
The role of end-users in contributing to the separate collection of waste batteries
It is prohibited to discard batteries at will. Do not throw them into regular household garbage; they must be taken to a dedicated recycling point for professional processing.
Separate collection, take-back and collection points, preparation for re-use, repurposing and treatment of waste batteries
- Separate collection – mandatory; must not go into mixed household waste.
- Take-back and collection points – free of charge, provided by producers at retail stores and municipal drop-off points.
- Preparation for re-use – generally not applied. Preparation for repurposing – not applied. Treatment – mainly recycling: sorting, shredding and recovering metals (Li, Co, Ni, etc.) via pyro-/hydrometallurgy; residual waste is safely landfilled or incinerated.
Safety instructions for handling waste batteries
- Handling: wear gloves and goggles. Do not puncture, crush, deform, or expose to heat or fire.
- Packaging: tape the terminals to prevent short circuits; use rigid, leak-proof, non-conductive containers and keep batteries upright; label clearly as “Waste Batteries” and state the lithium content.
- Storage: keep in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from sunlight, combustibles and water; segregate different battery chemistries.
- Transport: follow applicable regulations (e.g. ADR, IMDG, IATA); use the correct UN numbers and attach shipping documents with emergency information.
Recycle or dispose of in accordance with national and local regulations.
Impact of harmful substances in batteries on the environment, human health or personal safety
Used batteries contain toxic heavy metals including cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc and manganese. Cadmium, lead and mercury harm the nervous system and damage the liver and kidneys. Nickel and zinc can pollute soil and water and disrupt ecosystems when released in excess. Never discard used batteries in regular trash — return them to authorised recycling centres for safe, professional handling.
