Go for the Greener Option
| Battery Recycling | ||||
| The disposal of batteries as normal waste can cause a damaging effect to the environment. So far Britain lags far behind the rest of Europe in terms of the amount of batteries which are recycled. Portable battery collection rates by percentage of sales in 2002 was as follows: | ||||
 |
Belgium | 59% | ||
|
Sweden | 55% | ||
|
Holland | 44% | ||
|
Germany | 39% | ||
|
Britain | 0.5% | ||
| However, under a new British Battery Directive this rate will be raised to 25% recycling of household batteries by 2012. More sites and collection schemes are being established all around the country to help this target to become a reality. By 2008 retailers will also have to set up boxes for old batteries. | ||||
