In Switzerland, the proportion of the population in recycling processes returned batteries 70% of total sales (2009 figures) - this is a World record. Despite this good Behavior is no reason to be proud, because the remaining 30% weigh heavily on the environment: they correspond to a weight of 1,000 tons per year, either with the household waste otherwise be burned or thrown away ...

Batteries and accumulators are " Hazardous waste"
Are sold each year in Switzerland 120 million batteries and accumulators. They are empty and exhausted, they are considered "hazardous waste" because they can pollute water, soil and air. They in fact contain aggressive salt solutions, metals, which threaten the health of all living things (cadmium, manganese, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc, etc.), as well as synthetic materials such as problematic Flame retardants, which can interfere with our hormone system. While, in the commercially available Dell Inspiron 1520 battery virtually no mercury and cadmium more -both are highly toxic metals. But in many households are still some old batteries are available, eking out a forgotten existence somewhere: for example, in drawers or in disused objects like old remotes and quartz watches, lost interest in small toys that light up or sound emit, in discarded Razors or even in musical greeting cards ...

The Swiss legislation that prohibits Batteries a> can be incinerated together with household waste. For even the     great heat in the waste incinerators can not destroy all the dangerous substances: certain substances from entering the exhaust gases into the environment, contaminate the other Cleaning water from the flue gas scrubbing (the waste incineration plants are equipped with Filters and flue gas cleaning devices equipped), still others find themselves back in the slag, which end up in landfills.

Therefore obliged to sell the law is not only dealers that Dell Inspiron 1501 battery and accumulators for the free take-back and the same for distribution to professional recycling or Disposal facilities, but it also obliges the buyer to return it in the shop or depot.

Recycling included
To finance the entire recycling process, is an early Disposal fee Include (TEC) in the purchase price of new batteries and batteries - even in those that are already in a device such as a Mobile phone or computer are included. This fee will be administered by INOBAT (interest group battery disposal) and corresponds to an amount of CHF 1.45 per year per inhabitant. The Used batteries are collected and transported to Wimmis in the Batrec Industrie AG in Bern canton. In this high-tech foundry, metals and salts recovered and available for re-use only. In addition, synthetic materials are burned in special furnaces in full.

Also bring back electrical and electronic equipment.

Despite all the information and infrastructure that have existed for some twenty years ago, are still around 30% of used batteries and accumulators, returned to the depot. At to get an idea of ??the volume generated annually: This corresponds to a 2500 km stretch from ordinary batteries strung together (AA-size)!

This quantity is of course not only from AA batteries, alkaline batteries, although accounting for around two thirds of the total. This mass consists of all possible types of Dell Vostro 1510 battery, from large, as they are needed in cordless screwdrivers, to the tiny button batteries for small ladies watches.

Throw a no longer used electronic device in the trash you throw away so often identified with a Dell Inspiron 6400 battery or a battery, without being aware of it. And you move twice outside the law, because it requires that all electrical and electronic equipment - regardless of their size - are returned to collection points, as their Circuits also contain metals and substances which can not be released into the environment.

Only the dose makes the poison
Most of the metals used in Dell Inspiron 1525 battery and accumulators hardly exist in free form. They are found trapped in rocks and ores as they are - thankfully - almost in contact with Organisms. It fails to recycle their batteries, or its electronic devices, you increase the concentration of these elements in our immediate environment. Of lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals.It is known that they act on nerve cells highly toxic. Scientists fear that she hurt in far smaller doses than hitherto assumed, when they are with other Pollutants such as pesticides connect.
