The Fuji EnviroMAX Eco Friendly Battery

Eco-Friendly Batteries from Fuji – The Fuji EnviroMAX

Many people recognise the harm that conventional disposal batteries can inflict upon the planet, although they are rarely disposed of safely. Comprising heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead and nickel,
single-use batteries must always be discarded in special battery disposal units. If simply thrown out with normal waste, which will invariably end up on a land fill site somewhere, conventional batteries can contaminate the surrounding area once they have degraded, especially if they find their way into the water supply or into lakes, streams and rivers, where they prove toxic to fish and other marine life. In turn, this affects human consumption and causes great harm to the delicate eco-system.

Furthermore, when such batteries are incinerated, a common process of waste disposal, the hazardous toxins can be released into the atmosphere to contribute towards general air pollution. Moreover, degrading batteries are invariably corrosive, bad news for animals and young children who may be inclined to eat or touch them.

Fortunately, the science behind conventional batteries – not forgetting that rechargeable batteries have a limited shelf-life – is improving all the time and it was only a year or so ago that Sony marked the first prototype sugar-powered battery, which is entirely eco-friendly in so much as sugar is a natural by-product of plant photosynthesis. Nevertheless, Fuji has proved to be one of the first companies to have successfully made a 100 per cent eco-friendly battery for the mass markets. Indeed, the Fuji EnviroMax Eco-Respectful battery comprises no harmful heavy metal compounds and is packaged in fully degradable materials, making them kind on the planet.
