Battery ordinance

Information on the disposal of used batteries

The following information is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form in which they were delivered to them (end users):

1. Аree take-back of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be ensured. You can return used batteries to a municipal collection point or to your local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back used batteries, although our take-back obligation is limited to used batteries of the type that we carry or have carried in our range as new batteries. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them directly to our dispatch warehouse at the following address free of charge:

HB-DIGITAL GmbH
Wahlerstr. 16
40472 Düsseldorf

2. Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in the household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005% mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass or more than 0.004% lead by mass, the chemical name of the respective pollutant is given below the dustbin symbol - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead and "Hg" for mercury."
