Batteries or packaging for batteries are labeled in accordance with European
Directive 2006/66/EC concerning batteries and accumulators and waste batteries
and accumulators. The Directive determines the framework for the return and
recycling of used batteries and accumulators as applicable throughout the
European Union. This label is applied to various batteries to indicate that the
battery is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this
Directive.
In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and
accumulators are labeled to indicate that they are to be collected separately and
recycled at end of life. The label on the battery may also include a chemical
symbol for the metal concerned in the battery (Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and
Cd for cadmium). Users of batteries and accumulators must not dispose of
batteries and accumulators as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection
framework available to customers for the return, recycling, and treatment of
batteries and accumulators. Customer participation is important to minimize any
potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment and human
health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances. For proper
