Better
for the Environment
 According
to the EPA, the constant disposal of single-use products can
fill precious land space 20-60% faster than reusable products.
Because Grandcell batteries are rechargeable, they help to reduce
the millions of batteries accumulated in landfills each year.
It takes many more times the energy to make a single use battery
then you are ever likely to get from using one. A Grandcell
battery on the other hand reduces this ratio significantly.
Moreover, nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries are an environmental
nightmare. Cadmium is a carcinogen and can leach into reservoirs,
lakes, rivers or even into the air if disposed or burnt improperly.
Excessive exposure to cadmium through food and water can cause
serious health effects in humans including cancer. One nickel
cadmium AA battery contains 3.3 grams of cadmium - enough to
pollute 660,000 litres of water.
New Grandcell Rechargeable Alkaline batteries don't contain
any of toxic chemicals like cadmium and mercury found in many
traditional rechargeables, making them friendlier to the earth
and less harmful to all life.
 EPA
"Battery Act" Enforcement Alert
No
mercury or cadmium
Grandcell
batteries contain zero added mercury or cadmium. Cadmium contained
in other rechargeables may cause cancer if not disposed of properly.
