INFORMATION ABOUT COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE BATTERIES 
(DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL 
OF EUROPEAN UNION) (FOR EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS ONLY)

Batteries bearing any of these symbols indicate that they 
should be treated as “separate collection” and not as 
municipal waste. It is encouraged that necessary measures 
are implemented to maximize the separate collection of 
waste batteries and to minimize the disposal of batteries as 
mixed municipal waste. 

End-users are exhorted not to dispose waste batteries 
as unsorted municipal waste. In order to achieve a high 
level of recycling waste batteries, discard waste batteries 
separately and properly through an accessible collection 

point in your vicinity. For more information about collection and recycling of waste 
batteries, please contact your local municipality, your waste disposal service or the point of 
sale where you purchased the items.

By ensuring compliance and conformance to proper disposal of waste batteries, potential 
hazardous effects on human health is prevented and the negative impact of batteries and 
waste batteries on the environment is minimized, thus contributing to the protection, 
preservation and quality improvement of the environment.
