Varta
Varta is committed to delivering new, dynamic and high-performing innovations, such as the Solar Charger and the Power ACCU and Ready2Use rechargeable batteries.
Varta are proud to support Planet Ark and battery recycling initiatives. Varta is the only dry cell battery manufacturer that is a member of The Australian Battery Recycling Initiative (ABRI).
You can reduce your battery waste by choosing Varta Power ACCU and Ready2Use rechargeable batteries and Varta chargers-available at all major retail outlets and from planetarkdirect.com.
Rechargeable batteries conserve precious resources, are energy efficient and, as a result of their energy efficiency, lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Rechargeable batteries also save you money. Buying disposable batteries for toys, torches and remote controls quickly becomes costly. One Australian study states, based on recharging batteries 400 times, that a consumer would save almost one thousand dollars when compared to the equivalent number of disposable batteries required.1
Every time you recharge batteries, instead of purchasing disposable batteries, you are reducing the batteries' environmental impact by over 90 percent and the cost of using batteries by over 95 percent.
Recycling options for batteries are becoming increasingly common, to find out how to dispose of your batteries safely in your area please visit RecyclingNearYou.com.au.
