Abstract
There is nothing new about recycling batteries and waste products from nickel–cadmium batteries. Several developments have occurred in the past few years. National and international regulations are prohibiting to an ever-increasing extent the disposal of nickel-cadmium batteries on rubbish tips as well as their incineration along with household waste. A number of countries have already introduced collection systems: either all batteries or accumulators undifferentiated or specifically nickel-cadmium or rechargeable portable batteries. This chapter presents the collection figures for Europe for both industrial batteries and sealed units and power packs. The objectives, which are tending to be governed by increasingly stringent regulations, show that collection systems should increase very appreciably.
