Collection Potential for Nickel-Cadmium Batteries in Denmark

Abstract
This report estimates the collection potential of nickel-cadmium batteries, i.e. the total quantity of NiCd batteries that could be collected in a given year, provided that the users dispose of all NiCd batteries through the Danish separate collection system for NiCd batteries, and not discarding them with household waste etc. Comparing the potential with the real collection rate shows that only about half of the amount of NiCd batteries disposed of, is collected via the separate collection system.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
