Instead of
Disposable batteries Rechargeable batteries
Why switch
Healthier
No drawer of leaking alkaline cells slowly corroding.
Greener
One rechargeable cell replaces dozens of single-use ones — past about 50 charges it wins on nearly every measure.
The impact
You, per year 1.5 kg CO₂
All of the world 12.2 billion kg CO₂ skipped / year
If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:
- 12.2 billion kg CO₂
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce
Best for things you use often: remotes, controllers, toys, torches.
Reuse
Recharge and reuse hundreds of times before it is spent.
Recycle
Never bin any battery — take dead cells to a battery recycling point.
