SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No ecotoxicity data is available. This product is not expected to present an environmental hazard.
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Disposal should be in accordance with Federal, state/provincial and local regulations. Products covered by
this SDS, in their original form, when disposed as waste, are considered non hazardous waste according to
Federal RCRA regulations (40 CFR 261). Some communities offer recycling or collection of alkaline
batteries – contact your local government for disposal practices in your area.
Alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste. Due to concerns about mercury in
the municipal solid waste stream, Nanfu has voluntarily eliminated all of the added mercury from its alkaline
batteries since 2000. Individual consumers may dispose of spent (used) batteries with household trash. Nanfu
does not recommend that spent batteries be accumulated and disposed of in large quantities. Do not incinerate
except for disposal in a controlled incinerator.
Nanfu (or Excell) alkaline manganese dioxide batteries are labeled with “special
collection” symbol (as shown) in accordance with EU Battery Directive
2006/66/EC & amendment 2013/56/EU.
