Battery recycling

Battery recycling is a recycling activity that aims to reduce the number of batteries being disposed as municipal solid waste.

See Battery Directive and Battery recycling

Button cell

A button cell, watch battery, or coin battery is a small single-cell battery shaped as a squat cylinder typically in diameter and high – resembling a button.

See Battery Directive and Button cell

Cadmium

Cadmium is a chemical element; it has symbol Cd and atomic number 48.

See Battery Directive and Cadmium

Directive (European Union)

A directive is a legal act of the European Union that requires member states to achieve particular goals without dictating how the member states achieve those goals. Battery Directive and directive (European Union) are European Union directives.

See Battery Directive and Directive (European Union)

Electric battery
