Recycling batteries
When you dispose of used batteries at public collection points, you are helping to protect our environment and natural resources.
Batteries are made from important resources and chemicals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, lithium and mercury. If you dispose of batteries with household waste, they will be sent to landfill. As a result, these resources are lost and pollute the environment. Therefore, please dispose of used batteries separately from your waste, either via local collection points or recycling programmes.
Alternatively, you can return used batteries to S-K-S if you originally purchased them from S-K-S.
By doing so, you are making an important contribution to environmental protection. Every battery that you dispose of properly is taken apart and reused to make new batteries.
All batteries are marked with a crossed-out dustbin (see below) to indicate that they should not be disposed of with normal household waste, but should be taken to special recycling centres.
Batteries containing hazardous substances such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) are also labelled with a chemical mark.
You can hand in your old batteries at the public collection points in your municipality or wherever batteries are sold. Of course, you can also return the batteries available from us after use:
