Page EN-36 Waste prevention, free return and disposal
in an environmentally friendly manner and so
that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or
copper) can be recovered.
Single-use and rechargeable batteries can be
returned free of charge.
Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury,
cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improp-
erly disposed of, can have adverse effects on
the environment. Heavy metals, for instance,
can have detrimental health effects on hu-
mans, animals and plants and accumulate in
the environment and food chain, and then en-
ter the body indirectly through the consump-
tion of food.
There is a high risk of fire with old lithium bat-
teries. Special care must therefore be taken
to properly dispose of old lithium batteries
and rechargeable batteries. Improper dispos-
al can also lead to internal and external short
circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or me-
chanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a
fire or an explosion and have serious conse-
quences for people and the environment. It is
therefore important to tape off the terminals of
lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries
before disposing of them to prevent an exter-
nal short circuit.
Single-use and rechargeable batteries that
are not built into the device should be re-
moved before disposal and then disposed of
separately.
Please only dispose of single-use and re-
chargeable batteries in a discharged state!
If possible, use rechargeable batteries in
place of disposable batteries.
