About Us

We are a group of individuals who are passionate about the environment. We did a survey and found that lots of people not only do not recycle their batteries: They dispose of batteries while there is still charge left in them. We are researching solutions to fix both of these problems and have put up this site to express our thoughts to the world. Thanks for following us here and on social media :)
