2.11 Disposal of used batteries
The following note is addressed to those who use batteries or products with products
with built-in batteries and who will not resell them in the form in which they were
supplied to them (end users).
Free recall of used batteries.
Batteries must not be disposed of with waste. You are legally obliged to return used
batteries so that proper disposal can be guaranteed. You can return used batteries to
a local collection point or to your local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also
to take back used batteries, although our obligation to take back used is limited to the
type which we carry or have carried as batteries in our range. Used batteries of the
aforementioned type can therefore either be returned to us with sufficient postage or
handed in directly to our dispatch warehouse at the following address free of charge:

Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see illustration). This
symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. Batteries
containing more than 0.0005% mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass
or more than 0.004% lead by mass are also marked with the chemical name of the
pollutant below the dustbin symbol. The abbreviation „Cd" stands for cadmium, „Pb"
for lead and „Hg" for mercury.
