Environmentally Conscious at Every Step

At VARTA, we are committed to environmental stewardship throughout the entire lifecycle of our products. From development to manufacturing, and ultimately to disposal, we prioritise eco-friendly practices and sustainable solutions. Our unwavering dedication to environmental protection is deeply ingrained in our corporate ethos.

Responsible Product Development and Manufacturing

We place stringent demands on the development and manufacturing processes of our products, ensuring they are environmentally friendly from the outset. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond mere compliance; we strive to exceed industry standards and set new benchmarks for responsible production.

Long-Lasting and Safe Products

VARTA products are designed to be safe, reliable, and long-lasting, minimising the need for frequent replacements and reducing waste. By maximising the service life of our products, we contribute to a circular economy and reduce the environmental impact associated with premature disposal.

Sustainable Disposal: A Key Priority

While we prioritise product longevity, we understand that responsible disposal is a critical aspect of environmental stewardship. To ensure sustainable disposal of our products and packaging, we encourage you to follow the guidelines set forth by your local municipality.

Packaging Disposal Made Easy

To facilitate proper disposal of our packaging materials, we have provided a convenient reference table. Simply identify the code on the packaging components and follow the corresponding disposal procedure outlined below.

For more information, please refer to our battery recycling microsite

Packaging Component Code | Disposal Procedure

By adhering to these guidelines, you can play an active role in minimising the environmental impact of our products and packaging, contributing to a more sustainable future for all. Adapt the packaging disposal example to your pack by identifying the code on the single components and the procedure on the following table:

Exemplary packaging
Separate packaging in single components (where possible)
Identify packaging material by code on each component or main body (if separation is possible)
Correctly dispose single components detected by identification code
