Each battery has a ‘Cycle of life’. It begins in the factory and ends up to the final user. Once the battery is empty, if we throw it away in the litter, we interrupt its cycle of life, loosing valuable raw materials and energy, while some of its elements it highly possible to pass into the groundwater, causing dangerous effects for our health.

 

On the other hand, if we put an empty battery in the collection bins of AFIS, its ‘cycle of life’ continues, its basic elements are recovered and recycled, leading to the production of new batteries or other products. This preserves also the environment and minimizes the risks to humans from the use of batteries.
