Let's be eco friendly - we are starting the campaign of collecting used batteries!

The pro-ecological awareness of Poles is gradually increasing, which is of course pleasing, but we are still doing too little to protect nature from harmful substances. As part of a joint action with AURAEKO, the Electric and Electronic Equipment Recovery Organization, we started collecting used batteries in our company.
Used batteries are hazardous waste, disposed of in an uncontrolled manner pose a great threat to the environment. The substances contained in them may pollute soil and water and indirectly harm human health.
Heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, mercury) as well as acids or bases forming electrolytes, which have caustic and corrosive properties, pose a particular threat.
Their proper collection allows to neutralize toxic heavy metals and recover valuable secondary raw materials.

Special containers for collecting batteries have already appeared on the premises of El-Cab, which are to encourage all our employees to segregate this type of waste. The campaign will last until August 31, 2021.
By collecting used batteries, we lose nothing - we can only gain!
