Environmental advantages of mercury-free and lead-

With the advancement of technology, people's living standards have greatly improved, and pollution has also come along. Low carbon and environmental protection are issues that the world is paying attention to. Power Glory shares some green and environmental knowledge about batteries here. The key is how to choose batteries with environmental advantages.

The environmental advantages of mercury-free and lead-free button batteries are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Reduce toxic pollution

Avoid heavy metal hazards: Mercury and lead in traditional button batteries are highly toxic heavy metals that can easily enter the ecosystem through soil, water or air, causing long-term harm to animals, plants and human health (such as nerve damage and developmental disorders). Mercury-free and lead-free design fundamentally eliminates these risks.

Reduce waste toxicity: When discarded batteries are landfilled or incinerated, the mercury-free and lead-free components will not release toxic substances, reducing the risk to the environment and to the health of waste disposal workers.

Promoting resource recovery and recycling

Materials are easier to handle: Mercury-free and lead-free batteries tend to use less toxic materials such as zinc and lithium, and recycling technology is more mature, improving the efficiency of resource reuse.

Promote circular economy: Reducing harmful substances can reduce recycling costs, encourage enterprises and consumers to participate in battery recycling programs, and reduce resource waste.

Comply with international environmental regulations

Meet strict standards: EU RoHS directive, China's "Battery Pollution Prevention and Control Measures" and other regulations restrict the use of mercury and lead. Mercury-free and lead-free batteries are easier to pass certification and meet global market access requirements.

Avoid trade barriers: With stricter environmental regulations, such batteries help companies avoid export restrictions or fines due to non-compliance.

Clean production and low carbonization

Reduced process pollution: There is no need to handle high-risk substances such as mercury and lead during the production process, reducing the risk of pollution to the surrounding environment caused by factory emissions.

Energy consumption and emission optimization: Some mercury-free and lead-free batteries (such as lithium-based) have higher energy density and relatively lower carbon footprint in production and use.

Raising public awareness of environmental protection

Leading green consumption: Environmentally friendly batteries encourage consumers to choose sustainable products, creating a market-driven mechanism and encouraging more companies to change.

Corporate social responsibility: Brands that use green batteries can enhance their environmental image and meet the development trend of ESG (environment, society, governance).

Reduce processing costs and risks

Simplify waste management: safe disposal without special protective measures, reducing environmental management costs of landfills or incinerators.

Reduce long-term environmental liabilities: avoid long-term accumulation of toxic substances in the environment, and reduce the economic burden of future remediation of contaminated sites.

Power Glory mercury-free and lead-free button batteries reduce pollution at the source, promote recycling, and meet the global trend of sustainable development  through material innovation and technology upgrading. We hope that the environmental benefits will not only be reflected in direct environmental protection, but also indirectly promote the green transformation of the entire industry chain by encouraging regulatory compliance and changes in consumer behavior.
