Why lithium-ion rechargeable batteries require special disposal
Due to their design, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have a high energy density and react sensitively to pressure, heat or damage. If there is a short circuit or mechanical damage, a so-called thermal runaway can occur – a process in which the rechargeable battery becomes uncontrollably hot and can catch fire. For this reason, correct storage, handling and disposal are crucial. It not only protects employees and business premises, but also prevents environmental damage.

Proper disposal
Old and damaged lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are professionally utilised at REMONDIS Industrie Service's dedicated facilities.
Rechargeable battery disposal prevents fires and conserves raw materials
Used lithium-ion rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of together with other waste. They can be damaged by mechanical stress, which in the worst case can lead to inflammation or even explosions. They also contain important raw materials that can be recovered through recycling.
In order to prevent fires and keep the raw materials they contain, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminium and graphite, in the cycle for new energy storage devices, batteries and rechargeable batteries must be taken to professional waste disposal companies such as REMONDIS Italia. We therefore offer appropriate collection structures with fireproof containers or collect rechargeable batteries from companies. We use our international network to send the batteries and rechargeable batteries for certified recycling in specialised facilities.
