__Principle 5: Waste not __ __**Battery Recycling Process** __



Principle 5: It tells us that there are better ways to dispose of your old batteries. Scientist have come up with safer and more economically friend ways to reuse batteries. They made a machine that allows your old batteries to go in and recycled materials that can be used for other things, to come out. This is an eco-friendly way of getting rid of your batteries. Instead of us throwing batteries out in the garbage and them taking 100 years to break down as well as other problems that can arise, if we can reuse them and all the parts they are made of it would be a much more efficient way to reduce waste.

How does not recycling your batteries become a problem? This is what most people do; they throw their batteries out without a thought. This is going to then be a bigger problem to you. If you collect them all in one area they can ignite and start a flame. If they come open their chemicals will come out and be harmful to you. Because we buy batteries often it is important that we know how to recycle them properly.

What is in a battery? A battery is made of chemicals such as NH4Cl, ZnCl2, MnO2 and zinc (Zn). These chemicals are harmful to humans. Other than these chemicals and various metals, batteries are not comprised of very many other materials.

They can cause serious burns if touched, inhaled and ingested. If ingested they can eat away at the organs inside your body. They can cause explosions if they hit other batteries and still have some energy left in them.

Why is it beneficial to have a machine that can recycle our batteries? <span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">The creation of a machine that can properly and safely recycle batteries is very beneficial to our modern day living. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Due to our population growing, more electronics are being used providing the need for more batteries and without proper recycling we are losing many valuable resources. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Not all of these resources are of unlimited amounts. We need to reduce the usage of these resources as well as reuse as much of the after-product as we can.
