Green Milestones
Our Mission
To ensure that we preserve the environment for future generations while providing a safe and healthy working environment for all colleagues.
Our Products
Throughout the years, Energizer has led the industry in eliminating heavy metals from our batteries, while at the same time improving performance.
During the 1990’s, Energizer removed Mercury and Cadmium from all household batteries (AAA, AA, C, D and 9V), introducing the first zero-added mercury battery. During the same time, we converted our hearing aid batteries from mercuric oxide to a zinc air form, eliminating 90% of the mercury.
Today we produce hearing aid batteries with no added mercury. We also manufacture Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries, the world’s longest lasting AA and AAA batteries for high-tech devices. Not only do they last longer than ordinary alkaline batteries, they are significantly lighter than alkaline batteries. Or for batteries that you can recharge over and over again, we offer Energizer® rechargeable batteries.
Energizer is active in the collection, treatment and recycling of spent batteries. As a funding member of the new European Batteries Directive, Energizer is supporting various activities to meet collection and recycling targets.
Our Packaging
Energizer specifies that the paperboard in our primary and secondary packaging is 100% recyclable, runs efficiently on our production equipment to eliminate waste and does not use any heavy metal inks during the printing process.
Energizer is working to maximize the use of recycled materials. Our Alkaline AA packaging is produced by 95% recycled material (cardboard, blister cards, plastic, etc...)
In addition, we have dramatically reduced ozone-depleting agents from our production process and work with our suppliers to do the same.
Manufacturing
Energizer continue to proactively reduce the environmental footprint of our manufacturing operations prior to any governmental mandates. We have been proactive in changing our processes and procedures to minimize our impact on the communities in which we operate, including efforts to reduce scrap and outgoing waste to landfills.
