Users

Users – private as well as professional – can use their purchasing power and demonstrate eco-friendliness to ensure that rules for management of waste batteries and accumulators are complied with and that quantities of waste batteries and accumulators are minimised.

As a consumer you can check whether producers/importers have assumed the statutory producer responsibility for a given product. This can be done, for example, by checking that the battery is marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Thus, you can make sure that waste batteries are collected and treated in an environmentally friendly manner.
