COMPULSORY INFORMATION REGARDING THE DECREE ON BATTERIES
Batteries do not belong in your household waste. Users are required by law to return used batteries.
For proper disposal of batteries, you can find designated disposal containers in specialized shops as
well as in municipal collecting facilities. This is a solid contribution to the protection of the
environment. Since 1998, the decree on batteries requires all citizens to dispose used batteries only via
these specialized shops or collecting facilities (legal obligation to dispose). Specialized shops and
manufactures are obliged to accept used batteries in return and re-use them in accordance to the
decree or dispose of them as dangerous waste (legal obligation to accept). If you wish to return your
used batteries to us, you can mail them to our address in an adequately stamped envelope.
Batteries that need to be labelled by law are provided with one of the illustrations below, being a
crossed-out wheeled bin and the chemical symbol for the classification of pollutants-containing heavy
metals. The chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) will be shown under the illustration.
The following text can be found on the pollutants-
containing batteries:
Pb: Battery contains lead
Cd: Battery contains cadmium
Hg: Battery contains mercury
