From the USBcell website: Each year, 15 billion batteries are made and disposed of which is the equivalent to a column of batteries to the moon and back. USBCELL is the ultimate eco-friendly battery.
Normal alkaline batteries are mainly disposed into landfill sites, which create significant toxic waste and environmental issues. As the battery casing corrodes, toxic metals such as mercury, cadmium and lead are released into the eco-system, giving rise to soil and water pollution, which may in the future cause serious health problems. Our oceans are already beginning to show traces of cadmium which can be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can bio-accumulate in fish, and makes them unfit for human consumption. Another common compound used in batteries is cadmium, which is a know human carcinogen. There is also a significant carbon expenditure associated with the extraction, manufacture, transport, packaging, storage and retailing of disposable batteries that are rubbish after a single use.
