Common Alkaline Applications in Eindhoven
Recycling Process
Alkaline batteries are mechanically processed: steel casings are shredded and magnetically separated for steel recycling. The remaining zinc-manganese black mass is processed to recover zinc oxide and manganese compounds. Paper and plastic separators are filtered out. Modern processes achieve high recovery rates for both zinc and manganese, which are used in agricultural fertilizers and new battery production.
Environmental Impact
While alkaline batteries are generally considered non-hazardous, they still contain zinc and manganese that are better recovered than landfilled. The steel casings represent valuable recyclable material. In some jurisdictions including the EU, alkaline battery recycling is mandatory under producer responsibility regulations.
