As a responsible company involved in the Battery Industry we have for many years had to treat waste batteries as hazardous waste and have had to have it collected and disposed of by legitimate companies. Usually our waste batteries are a by product of our product refurbishment service, a service by which have been able to extend the working life of other products such as rechargeable shavers and toothbrushes. We are currently waiting for the final version of the Battery Directive before we decide which compliance scheme to join. In our investigations we have company accross the Batteryback scheme which seems to offer small businesses, schools and organizations a free battery collection service. Many Local Authorities now offer battery collection facilities also.

As a company we are very conscious of our enviromental responsibilities and have currently begun the process of working towards the ISO14001 Enviromental Standard to compliment the IS09001 Quality System.

We actively promote the use of Rechargeable Batteries, these are can very economic and can save lots of money in applications such as Digital Cameras.

We all need to do our bit in increasing the small percentage of batteries that are recycled each year. The Goverment would like to see this at 25% within a few years.
