Battery Wastes Swapped for Gifts at Big C

    Ten thousand environmentally friendly bags LOHAS and great many of attractive gifts will be offered to those who join the program by putting their used batteries into the collection bin at the supermarket. All off the collected used batteries will be processed by Viet Uc Environment Joint-stock company in conformity with law regulations.

    "Batteries are popular artifacts. According to statistical figures, each family approximately has 10 to 15 battery-powered devices so battery wastes released in the environment are in huge number. They are so useful for our life, however; improperly processing the used batteries may harm the environment. When buried and burnt, the heavy metals contained in them will infiltrate into soil and ground water, contaminating the air and polluting natural environment. A proper way of processing will help to protect the environment and defend our life."
