Guidelines for Environmentally Responsible Disposal of Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

Some of our shipments may include batteries or rechargeable batteries. To comply with the German Battery Act (BattG), please review the following information:

Do Not Dispose of Batteries in Household Waste

Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be discarded with regular household waste. The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin clearly indicates this requirement.

Return Obligation for Consumers

You are legally required to return used batteries to an appropriate collection point or to a retailer. This service is free of charge.

Why Returning Batteries Matters

• Improperly stored or disposed batteries can release harmful substances, posing risks to both the environment and human health.
• Batteries contain valuable raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese, and nickel that can be recovered and reused.

Where Can You Return Used Batteries?

• Directly to Us: Send your used batteries back to our shipping address.
• Locally: Drop them off at local retailers or municipal collection points at no cost.
• Quantity Limit: Retailers only accept household quantities and the battery types they currently sell or have previously carried.
