"Pencil cell" is a commonly used word for small dry cell batteries (AA/AAA).
They are small yet indispensable source of power for many household and commercial devices.
However, these seemingly insignificant batteries, if not disposed off responsibly after use, can lead to hazardous contamination of soil and groundwater through carcinogenic heavy metals.
Recycling of pencil cells allows for recover of high quality materials such as Zinc, Manganese, Steel and Graphite, thus reducing the environmental load caused by mining of virgin raw materials.
Recycling of pencil cells reduces environmental pollution as well supports sustainable practices by allowing recycled materials to be integrated into manufacturing of new products.
So, storing and handing over used pencil cells for recycling is a simple yet effective act to reduce pollution and to promote circularity.
