4 rechargeable nickel metal hydride AA batteries

Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC, commonly known as the Battery Directive, regulates the manufacture and disposal of batteries in the European Union with the aim of "improving the environmental performance of batteries and accumulators".[1][2] Batteries commonly contain hazardous elements such as mercury, cadmium, and lead, which when incinerated or landfilled, present a risk to the environment and human health. Directive 91/157/EEC was adopted on 18 March 1991 to reduce these hazards by harmonizing Member States' laws on the disposal and recycling of batteries containing dangerous substances.[3] Directive 2006/66/EC repealed Directive 91/157/EEC and sets maximum quantities for certain chemicals and metals in certain batteries;[4] tasks Member States with encouraging improvements to the environmental performance of batteries;[5] requires proper waste management of these batteries, including recycling, collections, "take-back" programs, and disposal;[6] sets waste battery collection rates;[7] sets financial responsibility for programs;[8] and makes rules covering most phases of this legislation, including labeling,[9] marking, documentation, reviews, [10] Art. 22 and other administrative and procedural matters.
