battries adding toxic waste to landfills, and a UK company may have an answer to the problem with a new battery can be recharged in the USB ports of computers without any additional charge. Recycling
week started badly with the news yesterday that Britain is facing millions of pounds of fines for failing to collect and recycle batteries. However, London-based renewable energy specialist Moixa Energy has the answer - with its award winning USBCELL battery category, which is already saving millions of batteries of the future landfill in the UK.
"Consumers need reusable products, not just in the trash after one use alkaline batteries, "says CEO and founder Moixa Daniel Simon." Our USBCELL batteries can "recharge anywhere 'only connect to one of the billions of USB ports desktop, laptop or gaming device "
" The solution is not only recycling of consumers (many people even know about recycling week), it is the responsibility of all companies and designers to rethink entire categories of reusable products more sustainable, as the recent Eleventh Hour Di Caprio in the movie points out. "
Batteries are a clear example of waste, with more than $ 15 million (equivalent to a column to the moon and back), and are shot each year, losing the C02, resources and toxic dumps. Traditional rechargeable batteries require a charger / adapter to do, which is and has - so sadly are on average only ever go back to using less than 10 times before being discarded. USBCELL batteries
resolve this by incorporating a compact USB connector and circuits within the battery so that no separate charger is necessary. Each USBCELL can save more than 3 kg of landfill and 7 kg of C02, on the basis of re-use, and much more if it is totally reusable. While government departments, BBMA (British Battery Manufacturers Association) and the environmental groups debate how to raise UK collection from the current 3.2% to 25% required under the Batteries Directive in the EU, has already saved the USBCELL United Kingdom jumbo jets worth several future landfill.
CEO Daniel Simon comments, "We live in an economy of Harry Potter and the iPod, where good ideas can sell hundreds of millions of units, and consumers are hungry for better environmental products. Our goal is to help the United Kingdom exceeded its target and reduce waste more battery 25%, through our reusable USBCELL batteries, which could even become life-long battery, so you never have to buy another battery. We also offer a free recycling service, due to the price of nickel is recovered in our batteries. We also believe that the EU will probably have to raise taxes on alkaline batteries in the future to cover the costs of recycling and the environment, and help customers migrate to rechargeable batteries that are in the category's fastest growing and now account for battery more than 30% of revenues in some stores "
