Batteries at Work
Did you know that for every 10 AA batteries sold only 4 are recycled? They could be in old keyboards, mice, speakers or at the back of your desk drawer!
WEEE Ireland’s Battery Recycling Challenge is urging businesses to become a battery recycling point for their staff, calling on them to gather their waste batteries and safely recycle them in one of our Blue Battery Boxes. It’s an easy way to do your part to help tackle climate change and protect the environment.
And every battery recycled by WEEE Ireland goes towards a donation fund to LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice.
Why not add battery recycling to your home and help contribute to the circular economy by giving batteries a new life! The power is in your hands…
#DYK
The materials in 148 waste batteries could be used to make a new alarm clock!*
