Alkaline batteries are mercury-free and environmentally friendly and can be discarded with household garbage
In the past, we were always taught that discarding batteries at will will cause irreversible environmental pollution to soil and water. Because waste batteries contain mercury, it will have a direct impact on soil, water and human health. Therefore, we have always encouraged people not to litter used batteries, but to recycle them reasonably.
However, with the improvement of battery production technology, the disposable alkaline batteries currently on the market are mercury-free and environmentally friendly, and can be discarded with household garbage.
Originally, dry batteries are divided into two types: mercury-free batteries and mercury-containing batteries. Alkaline batteries are mercury-free and environmentally friendly, and can be discarded with household garbage. Improper handling of mercury-containing batteries can cause mercury pollution.
Mercury-free alkaline batteries are improved on the basis of alkaline zinc-manganese batteries. The mercury-free technology for domestic alkaline batteries was pioneered and improved by Nanfu Battery. Advanced technology, no mercury, sufficient electricity, long use time. Mercury-free alkaline batteries will not pollute the environment and can be discarded with household garbage.
Batteries containing mercury contain a certain amount of mercury and are generally carbon batteries. Improper handling will cause mercury pollution. According to data, a No. 5 or No. 7 mercury-containing battery will contaminate about 1 cubic meter of soil when buried in the soil, so don't throw it away.
Due to the relatively low cost and relatively cheap price, mercury-containing batteries still occupy a certain market share, and mercury-containing and unstable performance are also fatal injuries to mercury-containing batteries.
From February 1 this year, the state has begun to impose a 4% consumption tax on mercury-containing batteries. The UN's "Minamata Convention on Mercury" also expressly prohibits contracting parties from importing and exporting mercury-containing batteries in 2020. Mercury-free and environmentally friendly alkaline batteries have become a major development trend in the dry battery industry.
Although the recycling of disposable batteries in our country is not fully universal, we can still choose high-performance alkaline mercury-free batteries in our daily lives. Even if they are not recycled, they will not cause pollution and make our own contribution to environmental protection. Right!
