Since alkaline batteries were made with less mercury beginning in 1996, alkaline batteries are allowed to be disposed of as regular domestic waste in some locations. However, older alkaline batteries with mercury, and the remaining other heavy metals and corrosive chemicals in all batteries (new and old), still present problems for disposal—especially in landfills. There is also the issue of simplifying the disposal of batteries by excluding them all from domestic waste, so t

AI Customer ServiceBatteries come in all shapes and sizes - what are the differences and which ones are OK to throw away? There are two types of batteries: single-use and rechargeable.
AI Customer ServiceRecycling: Recycling alkaline batteries is an effective way to reduce their environmental impact. However, not all regions have convenient battery recycling programs, leading to improper disposal. 3. Hazardous waste: Alkaline batteries contain heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium, which are hazardous to human health and the environment.
Battery leak is a problem in many household devices and alkaline batteries are no exemption. We need to be aware of the potential damage that a leaking alkaline battery can cause. Alkaline batteries can indeed leak, and while they’re unlikely to catch fire, leaking batteries can still cause damage to your devices.
Size comparison of alkaline batteries (left to right): C, AA, AAA, N, and a 9-volt (PP3). An alkaline battery (IEC code: L) is a type of primary battery where the electrolyte (most commonly potassium hydroxide) has a pH value above 7. Typically these batteries derive energy from the reaction between zinc metal and manganese dioxide.
The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide (KOH) instead of the acidic ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl) or zinc chloride (ZnCl 2) electrolyte of the zinc–carbon batteries. Other battery systems also use alkaline electrolytes, but they use different active materials for the electrodes.
Excess exposure to zinc can harm and kill marine life, while excess potassium can also harm fish. Excess exposure to graphite can harm crops and cause air pollution. Alkaline batteries are not always rechargeable. How long rechargeable batteries last can vary depending on the brand, battery type, and how much they are in use.
Since it is considered safe to dispose of alkaline batteries in the general waste bin, most people do so, but there are battery recyclers who accept them. Lead batteries are recycled more because they’re hazardous in landfills and are profitable to recycle. Almost all of the lead in these batteries is recycled to make new batteries.
