Ni-MH

A nickel-metal hydride battery (Ni-MH) is a type of galvanic cell. In the first half of the 21st century, it was one of the most frequently used accumulators. Compared to its similar nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery, it has approximately twice the capacity.

Recycling of Ni-MH batteries has several important aspects:

Environmental protection: Ni-MH batteries contain metals such as nickel, cobalt and iron, which can be harmful to the environment if disposed of in a waste dump. Recycling minimizes the risk of soil and water pollution.

Saving raw materials: Recycling gives a second life to the metals contained in batteries. This means less extraction of new raw materials, which reduces the negative impact on nature.

Energy efficiency: Recycling Ni-MH batteries requires less energy than manufacturing new ones. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with industrial processes.

Overall, recycling Ni-MH batteries brings environmental, economic and health benefits. It is important to support this process by handing in batteries for recycling instead of disposing of them in normal waste."
