Hello All,

Exide India has launched an initiative where every time a used battery is returned to Exide, the company will contribute to UNICEF Child Environment Programme, a program that focuses on sanitation, hygiene, nuturition etc among children.

The element Lead that is used in batteries is harmful to the human beings and other life forms on the planet, if it is not treated/ disposed properly after the battery usage.



Thankyou. Wish you a good day.

May be Exide India is making money by recycling. So what? Let them. There is nothing wrong in making money, if they are doing it ethically.

By launching this initiative, and encouraging the customers to recycle, Exide India is contributing to the well-being of the planet. And i cheer it.

This initiative from Exide India is also a forward looking practice as compared to other battery companies that does not engage in such endeavors.

It is true that in most of the recycling process, there is an element of pollution. However, when done appropriately, the practice of recycling is better than dumping them in a landfill or throwing them away. Battery recycling is no different.

As the saying goes, the best lifestyle practice is to consume only what we need, not what we desire.

Lets go to the website and check details, if not recycling then what is the other option and money has to be made for the program to be kept alive, social work too needs investment. Atleast something is being done. Cheers Exide :). Best
