This law regulates the placing on the market, take-back and environmentally compatible disposal of batteries and accumulators. Therefore, consumers are legally obliged to return used batteries and accumulators. Used batteries can contain harmful substances which, if not disposed of properly, can harm the environment or health. However, batteries and rechargeable batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and are reused. Empty batteries and rechargeable batteries must be handed in at so-called recycling yards or collection points of GRS, of which we are a member (our usage and contract number with GRS is 980983). Of course, the collection systems in our branches can also be used.
